How long does the conveyancing on a leasehold property take

Over 90% of flats in the UK are leasehold. There are also an estimated 1 million leasehold houses throughout the country. Purchasing leasehold property will usually take more time than a freehold property because there is more to prepare and there is greater complexity.

Examples of delays might include anything from incomplete managing agent information to an unreachable freeholder.

Leasehold specialists complete the legal work for 100's of leasehold purchases each month, and our proactive approach can mean faster conveyancing.

What do I need to know if selling a leasehold property in Windsor?

The conveyancing process for a leasehold flat is significantly more complex than for a freehold house.

The complex nature of leasehold property means that conveyancing solicitors in Windsor must carry out additional legal work, for example collating an up-to-date service charge statement, through to a copy of the insurance policy.

So as to resolve any leasehold-related issues sooner, It is strongly advised that you instruct a property lawyer as early in the process as possible, preferably before putting the property on the market.
