Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Hythe costs more?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Hythe and elsewhere usually involve additional due diligence compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, communicating with the landlord about serving applicable notices, obtaining current 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 granted.
