Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Blaina from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Blaina can be reduced where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers.
  • Many freeholders or managing agents in Blaina levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Blaina. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Blaina leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such works. Should you fail to have the paperwork in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor first. A minority of Blaina leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is 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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors.
