- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Southville can be avoided where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Southville leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Should you fail to have the consents in place you should not contact the landlord without checking with your lawyer in advance. A minority of Southville leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are 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 purchasers or their lawyers. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Obtaining a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy process and frustrates many a Southville home move. If a reissued share certificate is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later.
