I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Sheringham to sign contracts within four weeks. What can be done to speed up the conveyancing process?
Where you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and know-how. It is possible that they would have conducted otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Sheringham conveyancing lawyer. Second, be sure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is said that 18% of Sheringham conveyancing deals are delayed or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their banks member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being frustrated by almost 21 days. It is claimed that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Almost all Sheringham conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

Sheringham leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s remained a mandatory element of selling a property.

I wish to let out my leasehold apartment in Sheringham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Notwithstanding that your last Sheringham conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
