Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Wombourne from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Wombourne can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a replacement share certificate can be a lengthy process and frustrates many a Wombourne conveyancing transaction. Where a duplicate share is necessary, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a flat where a dispute is unsettled. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. 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 unresolved. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but you should verify this by asking your conveyancers. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is under 75 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.
