Many freeholders or managing agents in Northwood charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge.

In the circumstances it is important 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 property on the market for sale. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Northwood leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. Should you dont have the approvals in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer before hand. If you have had any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a flat where there is a current dispute.

It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved.
