Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Castle Donington with the purpose of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Castle Donington can be reduced where you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. A minority of Castle Donington leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any 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 freeholders or Management Companies in Castle Donington charge for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Castle Donington. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle 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 are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to unresolved.

Myself and my husband have just had an offer accepted on a apartment and had meeting on Friday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to selecting a lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancers then we will incur a further charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to select a property lawyer to act for them as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their invoice. I have asked Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. What would be the best way of going about this?
