Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Willenhall from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Willenhall can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ representatives. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should verify this via your lawyers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to where the remaining number of years is below 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential 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 home on the market for sale. A minority of Willenhall leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. Any 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. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Obtaining a replacement share certificate can be a lengthy process and frustrates many a Willenhall home move.

This is not necessarily the case and you are free to instruct whichever conveyancing practitioner you decide for your Willenhall conveyancing. A solicitor recommended by a 3rd party adviser may not necessarily be the right lawyer, they may put forward their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
