Selling a house or flat in Conisbrough
When you begin the process to sell homes in Conisbrough, your conveyancing solicitor will first arrange all the necessary documentation, including property information forms and the contract of sale.
Duties include resolving issues like an absent freeholder, responding to the buyer's solicitor's enquiries and redeeming the mortgage. To ensure the transaction is straightforward, your conveyancing solicitor will work with all parties, such as agents, lenders and landlords.Does the conveyancing for selling leasehold take longer?
Yes, it can take considerably longer to complete the legal work on leasehold properties when compared to conveyancing on a freehold house.
The buyer's solicitor must review several leasehold-related documents. These could include details of any breaches by other leaseholders and a copy of the freehold property's buildings insurance. The time needed by the solicitor to source this information is commonly the source of delays.
It can take weeks to collect this paperwork if it is difficult to contact the managing agent, so your solicitor should start this process even before you have found a buyer.
