Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Bolsover from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Bolsover can be reduced where you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Bolsover levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Bolsover. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Bolsover leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. If you dont have the approvals to hand you should not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer first. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where a dispute is unresolved. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a lengthy process and slows down many a Bolsover conveyancing deal. If a new share certificate is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity.
