As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Woodford Green what’s the number one tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Woodford Green
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Woodford Green or throughout Essex is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and even potentially the bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Woodford Green is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Woodford Green with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Woodford Green can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable double-check by asking your lawyers. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. In the circumstances it is important 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. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to 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 purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as over rather than ongoing. Many landlords or Management Companies in Woodford Green levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Woodford Green. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming process and slows down many a Woodford Green home move. If a duplicate share certificate is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this sooner rather than later.
