Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Wickersley with the intention of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Wickersley can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where a dispute is unresolved. You may need to swallow your pride and 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 ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over rather than unsettled. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but you should verify this by asking your solicitors. 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 75 years.

How long is the Lease? What prohibitions are there in the Wickersley Lease?
We are in the middle of buying a property in Wickersley. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect the salability of the property?
Wickersley conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value too much.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a adverse effect on the value, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your solicitor.
