Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Haverhill from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Haverhill can be reduced if you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers.
  • A minority of Haverhill leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying 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 purchasers or their lawyers. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Obtaining a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy process and frustrates many a Haverhill home move. Where a reissued share certificate is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Haverhill state that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. Where you dont have the approvals in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance.
