We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Sipson
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is counter productive. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Sipson conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Sipson with the intention of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Sipson can be avoided if you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Sipson state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. If you fail to have the consents in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor first. A minority of Sipson leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying 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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. Many freeholders or Management Companies in Sipson levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Sipson.
