  • The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Fordingbridge charge for providing management packs for a leasehold home. 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 accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Fordingbridge. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Fordingbridge state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. Where you fail to have the consents to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer first. Some Fordingbridge leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet 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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors.
