Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Hadley Wood with the aim of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Hadley Wood can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers.
  • If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Hadley Wood state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord approving such works. Where you fail to have the approvals in place do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer in the first instance. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your lawyers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is below 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate. Arranging a duplicate share certificate is often a time consuming process and frustrates many a Hadley Wood conveyancing deal. Where a new share is necessary, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. A minority of Hadley Wood leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying 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.

On the basis that no conflict arises this is allowable. If you are requiring mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many lenders have specific requirements on this. For example for Barclays plc as of 23/3/2025, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, in the circumstances stated in 1.15 of Part 1 of the Handbook provided there is no conflict of interest.
