Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Rothley with the intention of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Rothley can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Rothley state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such works. Where you dont have the paperwork in place do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your lawyer in advance. 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 purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is less than 75 years. It is therefore 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 you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share certificate. Obtaining a new share certificate is often a lengthy process and delays many a Rothley home move. If a new share certificate is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity.
