Is there a reason that Forest Hall conveyancing charges are higher for leasehold and freehold properties?
There is always increased work needed for leasehold conveyancing. Forest Hall has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date 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.
