How long does the conveyancing on a leasehold property take
The vast majority of flats are leasehold. Leasehold houses are less common, but there are still an estimated 1 million such properties across the country. The legal work for a leasehold property typically takes longer than freehold property because leasehold transactions involve more work.
Causes of numerous delays can range from slow receipt of the managing agent information to uncontactable landlords.
Expert leasehold solicitors look after hundreds of leasehold clients every month, and our proactive approach can mean faster conveyancing.
