- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in North Finchley can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ lawyers.

If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. Some North Finchley leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying 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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Organising a new share certificate is often a lengthy formality and frustrates many a North Finchley home move. Where a new share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible.
