Yes. The conveyancing for selling a leasehold house or flat can be seriously delayed.
The buyer's conveyancer must review several leasehold-related documents. These could include an up-to-date statement of service charges and a copy of the freehold property's buildings insurance. The time needed by to gather this paperwork is usually the cause of these delays.
Your lawyer should commence this even before a sale has been agreed, because this paperwork can take a long time to gather if it is difficult to contact the managing agent or they are slow to respond.
