Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Cheddleton from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Cheddleton can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ representatives. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Cheddleton charge for providing management packs for a leasehold property. 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 common cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Cheddleton. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is ongoing. 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 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 reveal the dispute as historic rather than unsettled. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but you should double-check by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is less than 75 years. It is therefore important 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 are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a duplicate share certificate can be a lengthy process and slows down many a Cheddleton home move. Where a duplicate share certificate is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity.
