Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Hethersett from the perspective of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Hethersett can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ lawyers. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Hethersett charge for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. 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 Hethersett. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay 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 prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Hethersett leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Where you fail to have the approvals to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor in advance.
