- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Brynford can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a flat where there is a current dispute. 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 purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate. Obtaining a new share certificate is often a time consuming formality and slows down many a Brynford conveyancing transaction. Where a new share is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is below 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Brynford state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Should you fail to have the approvals in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer first.
