In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Harlington so you should seriously consider looking for a Harlington conveyancing practitioner and check that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses.

The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to carry out alterations. It may be necessary to pay a contribution towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the property is located on an estate. Your conveyancer should report to you on the legal implications.

Builders have put forward a solicitor and I've obtained a quote from them. It's almost £300 cheaper than my family Harlington conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?
Housebuilders frequently have panels of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s paperwork and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Harlington conveyancer.
