Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Heston with the aim of saving time on the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Heston can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives.
  • You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check via your solicitors. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is under 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Organising a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Heston home move. If a reissued share is necessary, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. Many freeholders or managing agents in Heston levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Heston.
