Selling a house or flat in Dawlish

The solicitor will respond to inquiries from the buyer's solicitor, sort out potential snags and handle the mortgage redemption.

Does sale conveyancing take longer for leasehold?

Yes, compared to freehold conveyancing. The conveyancing for selling leasehold properties can result in long delays.

The solicitor acting for the buyer will want to see several leasehold-related documents. These could include an up-to-date statement of service charges and management company information. Delays are usually caused by the time required by your lawyer to source this information.

Your lawyer ought to start this process even before you have found a buyer, as the managing agent's information could take several weeks to collect if it is difficult to contact the agent responsible for managing the property or they are slow to respond.
