Selling property in Pwllheli
At the start of the property selling process in Pwllheli, your lawyer will prepare vital paperwork, including the TA6 and TA10 property information forms and the sale contract.
The role of a conveyancer acting for the seller includes answering enquiries from the buyer's solicitor and handling obstacles like absence of easement.
The solicitor will coordinate with both sides, including agents, lenders and landlords, so your sale is completed successfully.Does it take longer to sell a leasehold property?
Yes. Sale conveyancing for a leasehold house or flat can be seriously delayed.
The solicitor acting for the buyer will expect to see this leasehold-related paperwork, including a copy of buildings insurance for the common parts of the property. The time required by your lawyer to source this information is commonly the source of delays.
It could take several weeks to collect this information if the agent responsible for managing the property is slow or difficult to contact, so your lawyer should get this underway as soon as possible.
