Conveyancing
The Act brought in a form of protection to the leasehold flat by a Certificate Scheme but unless these certificates are granted at the right time, and in the right way, the protection can be lost. It is crucial that the correct Certificates are in place if you want to sell your leasehold flat, or if you wish to buy one.
