Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Brackla from the perspective of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Brackla can be avoided if you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the lease term is under 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. A minority of Brackla leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any 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. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Brackla state that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord consenting to such changes. Should you dont have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your lawyer in advance. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to 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 prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic rather than unsettled.
