- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Northumberland Heath can be avoided if you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ solicitors.

If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.

The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Northumberland Heath.

You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers.
