Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Colyers with the intention of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Colyers can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a flat where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to 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 ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over rather than unsettled. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming process and delays many a Colyers conveyancing deal. Where a duplicate share is required, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Colyers leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such works. Should you fail to have the paperwork in place you should not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor first.
My wife and I have hit a brick wall in seeking a lease extension in Colyers. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to calculate the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Colyers property is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case was in relation to 13 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 76 years.
