In short, leasehold conveyancing in Heathfield and elsewhere usually necessitates additional work compared to freehold transactions. This includes lease investigation, communicating with the landlord concerning the service of applicable notices, procuring up-to-date service charge and management information, securing the landlord’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 – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first entered into.
