Many freeholders or Management Companies in Mumbles levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Mumbles. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is below 80 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Arranging a duplicate share certificate is often a time consuming formality and slows down many a Mumbles conveyancing deal. Where a reissued share certificate is necessary, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible.
