Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Stroud Green from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Stroud Green can be reduced where you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ solicitors. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to 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 below 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a new share certificate is often a lengthy process and delays many a Stroud Green home move. Where a reissued share certificate is required, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have had any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over rather than ongoing.

The valuation follows the order of the County Court made on 3 April 2008 granting a vesting order. This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 71 years.
