Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Lydney with the intention of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lydney can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. A minority of Lydney 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 should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual 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. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable verify this via your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is less than 75 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.

Most leases in Lydney state that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord approving such works. Should you dont have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor before hand.
