Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Aldersgate from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Aldersgate can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors.
    • Some Aldersgate leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Aldersgate charge for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management pack sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Aldersgate. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Aldersgate leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such works. Should you fail to have the consents in place you should not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer first.

I have had difficulty in trying to purchase the freehold in Aldersgate. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
