Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Willen is more expensive?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Willen and Milton Keynes usually involve additional hours of investigation compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, liaising with the landlord about the service of required notices, procuring current service charge and management information, obtaining 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 granted.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Willen. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Willen - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
