Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Fulwood from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Fulwood can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over as opposed to unresolved. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Organising a new share certificate can be a lengthy process and slows down many a Fulwood conveyancing transaction. If a new share certificate is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Fulwood leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such changes. If you dont have the consents in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in the first instance.
