Default Sowing a new lawn in UK - concern = LEAVES?

All,
Have just perfected 2000 sq m of soil ready for sowing quality lawn
seed. My concern is exactly when to sow, as there are still leaves on
the trees, and if was to sow now in perfect conditions, when the leaves
fall I'm worries they might stifle the new lawn, esp. as I'd not be able
to rake them away. Do I wait until all the leaves have fallen, after
which sowing time might not be best?

(BTW - these leaves come from surrounding trees - blown by the wind).




I'm curious, what varieties of grass do people in general seed with in
the U.K. what seed type do you intend to sow?
