The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect answer. A purchaser’s conveyancers should also order an enviro search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Cilfynydd with the intention of speeding up the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Cilfynydd can be reduced if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers.
  • If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Organising a duplicate share certificate is often a lengthy formality and delays many a Cilfynydd conveyancing deal. Where a duplicate share certificate is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Cilfynydd leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord approving such works. Where you dont have the consents in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in advance. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is below 80 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you identify 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 Cilfynydd leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual 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 best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the tenants enjoy control and even though a managing agent is frequently retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Where a Cilfynydd lease has less than 80 years it will impact the value of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. For most Cilfynyddlease extensions you will need to own the premises for two years before you are legally able to carry out a lease extension. Are there any major works in the planning that could increase the service charges?
