Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Fforestfach with the purpose of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Fforestfach can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives.
  • The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Fforestfach charge for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Fforestfach. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Fforestfach state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. If you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer in the first instance. Some Fforestfach leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual 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. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but you should verify this by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. In the circumstances it is 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.

I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Fforestfach, conveyancing having been completed June 2006. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Fforestfach with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2079

You have 53 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £27,600 and £31,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
