Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Hayle from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Hayle can be reduced where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unsettled. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic as opposed to unsettled. The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Hayle charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Hayle. 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?

If you dont have the consents to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor first.
