Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Sileby with the aim of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Sileby can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share document. Arranging a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming formality and slows down many a Sileby conveyancing deal. Where a duplicate share certificate is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Sileby leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such works. If you dont have the approvals in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in advance. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a flat where a dispute is unsettled. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing. A minority of Sileby leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should notify your estate agents 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 able to meet the yearly 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 actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors.
