Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Morecambe with the purpose of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Morecambe can be reduced where you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Morecambe leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. If you dont have the approvals to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in the first instance.

It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Morecambe. A minority of Morecambe leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references.

You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers.
