Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Ombersley conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Ombersley from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Ombersley can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ lawyers. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but you should verify this by asking your conveyancers. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is less than 75 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate. Organising a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming process and frustrates many a Ombersley home move. If a duplicate share certificate is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity.
