- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Denmark Hill can be reduced where you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ solicitors. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to verify this via your solicitors.

It is therefore essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. 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 can be a time consuming process and delays many a Denmark Hill home move. Where a duplicate share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. A minority of Denmark Hill leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly 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.
