- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Melton Constable can be avoided if you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Melton Constable leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. If you fail to have the paperwork in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer in advance. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to verify this by asking your solicitors. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the lease term is less than 75 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you consider whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale.
