Selling property in Evesham
As part of the property selling process in Evesham, your lawyer will arrange all the necessary documentation, including the contract of sale and property information forms, and will help you answer these forms.
Their role involves sorting out potential snags, responding to the buyer's solicitor's enquiries and handling the mortgage redemption.

Yes, compared to freehold conveyancing. The conveyancing for selling a leasehold house or flat usually takes longer.
The buyer's conveyancer must review these documents, including a copy of buildings insurance for the common parts of the property. The time required by your lawyer to get these documents together is commonly the source of delays.
The solicitor should start this process even before you have found a buyer, because the managing agent's information can take a long time to gather if it is difficult to contact the landlord or managing agent or they are slow to respond.
