Selling your property

• When you sell your property, your purchaser’s solicitors will want to know all about the existing lease, the service charges, and all manner of additional enquiries concerning the transfer of legal title. A standard format for these queries has been set up by the Law Society and is called an LPE 1 form.

• As the majority of leaseholders own shares in the company Goring Place Limited, which owns the freehold title to our development and replaced Higgins Homes as the landlord, Setfords Solicitors has been instructed to act on behalf of the landlord, such that any sale can be processed efficiently.

• In other words, it is hoped that the whole stress of selling your flat will be reduced because all the relevant information concerning the estate and its management will be already known or easily available to our solicitors.

• Additionally, a schedule of professional fees to provide this service are set out below, with permission from Setfords Solicitors.

• The other point to consider is that if you do not already own a share of the freehold title, your purchaser might want to know what is involved and what it will cost, and Setfords Solicitors are already familiar with all these issues.
