    • If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Arranging a new share certificate is often a lengthy process and delays many a Copmanthorpe conveyancing transaction. If a duplicate share certificate is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where a dispute is unsettled. 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 ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to verify this via your lawyers.

It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.
