Why do Atherstone conveyancing fees differ for leasehold and freehold properties?
Inevitably there is more work required in leasehold conveyancing. Atherstone has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including current service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
