Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Adamsdown from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Adamsdown can be avoided if you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Organising a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming process and slows down many a Adamsdown conveyancing deal. If a reissued share certificate is necessary, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. Some Adamsdown leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet 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 purchasers or their solicitors. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Adamsdown state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such changes. Where you dont have the consents to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor before hand.

You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Adamsdown.
