Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Lea Bridge with the purpose of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lea Bridge can be reduced if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Lea Bridge leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such changes. Where you fail to have the consents in place do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor in advance. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unresolved. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or settle 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 are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over rather than unsettled. A minority of Lea Bridge leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet 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 actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Arranging a duplicate share certificate can be a lengthy process and delays many a Lea Bridge conveyancing transaction. Where a duplicate share certificate is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity.
