Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Axmouth and Branscombe with the purpose of speeding up the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Axmouth and Branscombe can be avoided if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers.
  • You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your lawyers. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is less than 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 property on the market for sale. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing 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 completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over rather than unsettled. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy process and delays many a Axmouth and Branscombe home move. If a duplicate share is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Axmouth and Branscombe - Sample of Questions you should ask Prior to Purchasing

As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are often at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical matters like the cleanliness of the communal areas. Enquire of prospective neighbours what they think of their management. On a final note, find out the dates that the service charges are due to the appropriate party and precisely what it includes.
