In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Ranmoor and South Yorkshire usually requires extra due diligence compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes analysing the lease terms, liaising with the landlord concerning serving applicable notices, procuring up-to-date service charge and management information, procuring the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.
