- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Fleet can be avoided if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. The majority of freeholders or Management Companies in Fleet levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Fleet. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to verify this via your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is under 80 years. It is therefore essential at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Fleet state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Where you dont have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in advance. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming process and delays many a Fleet home move. Where a reissued share certificate is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity.

Please note if it is no more than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your lender that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the residence for a couple of years before you are eligible to carry out a lease extension.
