EFIS 85, October 2013 : Conveyancing - LS Transaction

You must login to download the contents of this EFIS.

New form LPE1 for leasehold property enquiries has been based on a standardised questionnaire which the Law Society has drafted in consultation with other trade bodies.

LPE1 enables managing landlords and agents to anticipate what information conveyancers will need in a transaction. Because additional requests for information will only be required when an issue arises which necessitates further information, it is hoped that LPE1 will improve the efficiency and speed of this type of transaction.

For more information please see press release from the Law Society. http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/news/press-releases/complicated-leasehold-process-made-easier-with-new-standardised-format-says-law-society/
