Selling property in New Milton
When selling homes in New Milton, the solicitor will assemble all essential documents - like property information forms and the title deeds. The lawyer's duties entail resolving any potential issues and responding to enquiries from the buyer's solicitor.
By taking action to coordinate with all parties, like estate agents, landlords and lenders, your conveyancing solicitor will help make sure your sale of your property completes as soon as possible.
Does the conveyancing for selling leasehold take longer?
Yes, it can take considerably longer to carry out the conveyancing on leasehold properties when compared to conveyancing on a freehold house.
The buyer's conveyancer will need to review several leasehold-related documents, such as an up-to-date statement of service charges. The time required by the seller's conveyancer to source this information is usually the cause of these delays.
Your lawyer should get this underway even before you have found a buyer, because these details can take weeks to collect if it is difficult to contact the landlord or managing agent.
