Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Havant from the perspective of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Havant can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ solicitors. The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Havant charge for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management information 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 delay in leasehold conveyancing in Havant. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Havant state that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such works. Should you dont have the consents to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer in the first instance. Some Havant leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, 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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Havant conveyancing transaction. If a duplicate share is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this sooner rather than later.
