The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Crowthorne from the perspective of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Crowthorne can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Crowthorne leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Should you fail to have the paperwork in place you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer before hand. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a re-issued share certificate can be a time consuming process and delays many a Crowthorne conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share is necessary, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this as soon as possible. Many landlords or managing agents in Crowthorne levy fees 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 reducing delays. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Crowthorne.
