Selling a property in Marple
When selling a property in Marple, your conveyancer will prepare the necessary documentation, such as the sale contract and property information forms, and help you complete these forms.
Duties include answering enquiries from the buyer's solicitor, sorting out potential snags and redeeming the mortgage.
Your solicitor will also coordinate with both sides, like estate agents, landlords and lenders, ensuring that the sale completes as soon as possible.Could the sale of a leasehold property be delayed?
Yes, that's correct, it can take much longer to complete the legal work on leasehold properties, compared to freehold conveyancing.
The buyer's solicitor will need to review several leasehold-related documents, such as details of any breaches by other leaseholders. Delays are usually caused by the time it takes the solicitor to gather this paperwork.
It can take weeks to collect the managing agent's information if the landlord or managing agent is slow or difficult to contact, so the seller's solicitor should commence this even before a sale has been agreed.
