Leasehold flats
Almost all flats are leasehold. Purchasing leasehold property will usually take more time than a freehold home because there is more to prepare and there is greater complexity.
Causes of numerous delays can range from slow receipt of the managing agent information to an unresponsive landlord.
Expert leasehold solicitors complete the legal work for 100's of leasehold purchases each month. Our proactive approach means fewer obstacles.

Selling a property in Tredegar
For the sale of property in Tredegar, your lawyer will prepare vital paperwork, such as title deeds and the TA6 and TA10 property information forms, and will help you answer these forms.
The conveyancer will handle questions from the buyer's side and address potential issues.
The solicitor will coordinate with all parties, like agents, lenders and landlords, so the property sale completes as soon as possible.
Could the sale of a leasehold property be delayed?
Correct, it can take much longer to carry out the legal work to sell a leasehold home, compared to freehold conveyancing.
The solicitor acting for the buyer will need to review several leasehold-related documents, such as a current statement of service charges. Delays are usually the result of the time required by the seller's conveyancer to gather this paperwork.
It can take weeks to collect this information if it is difficult to contact the agent responsible for managing the property, so your solicitor should get this underway as soon as possible.

What are typical Tredegar conveyancing fees?
It only takes a minute to get a conveyancing quote online, but knowing what's actually included can be complex.
Conveyancing fees
These fees are what your conveyancing solicitor charges you for the legal work that they complete on your behalf. Your solicitor's quote will detail the fees for the legal work, including VAT, that you'll pay when your transaction completes.
Disbursements
The conveyancing quote should also include any disbursements, which are third-party costs, including Local authority searches, Stamp Duty or a chancel liability search.
Is it a fixed fee quote?
Some solicitors' quotes list extra charges in the small print, resulting in a final bill that is higher than the original quote. Beware of hidden fees or extra charges, when comparing quotes.
