Selling property in Tring
For the sale of a Tring property, your conveyancing solicitor will arrange all the necessary documentation, such as the draft contract and assorted property information forms, and help you fill out these forms.
A seller's solicitor's duties include responding to the buyer's solicitor's enquiries and dealing with complications like lack of conservation area consent. Your solicitor will also work with both sides, like estate agents and banks or building societies, so the sale completes without a hitch.Does sale conveyancing take longer for leasehold?
Yes, that's correct, it can take considerably longer to conduct the conveyancing to sell leasehold houses or flats, compared to the sale of a freehold property.
The solicitor acting for the buyer will need to review this leasehold-related paperwork, such as an up-to-date statement of service charges. Delays are usually caused by the time it takes the seller's conveyancer to get these documents together.
It could take several weeks to collect this information if it is difficult to contact the managing agent or landlord, so your solicitor should get this underway even before a sale has been agreed.
