- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Crook Log can be reduced where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers.

The buyers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. 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 buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as over rather than unsettled. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but you should verify this by asking your lawyers.

You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.
