Selling a property in Gerrards Cross

When you're looking to sell a Gerrards Cross property, you can expect your solicitor to first compile key documents, including the title deeds and ID forms.

The lawyer will respond to inquiries from the buyer's solicitor, address potential issues and redeem the existing mortgage. Your lawyer will work with both sides, including agents, lenders and landlords, ensuring that the home move completes quickly.

Does a leasehold property take longer to sell?

Yes, it can take much longer to complete the legal work on leasehold properties, compared to the sale of a freehold property.

The buyer's conveyancer will expect to see several leasehold-related documents, like a copy of the freehold property's buildings insurance and details of any breaches by other leaseholders. The time it takes the seller's conveyancer to get these documents together is commonly the source of delays.

The seller's solicitor should start this process at the earliest opportunity, as these details can take weeks to collect if the landlord or managing agent is slow or difficult to contact.
