Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Bloomsbury with the purpose of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Bloomsbury can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. The majority of freeholders or Management Companies in Bloomsbury charge for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. 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 Bloomsbury. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Bloomsbury state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Should you dont have the consents to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your lawyer in the first instance. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate. Obtaining a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming process and frustrates many a Bloomsbury home move. Where a reissued share is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later.
