Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth with the aim of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ representatives.
  • If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. 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 particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Chorleywood and Rickmansworth leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord consenting to such alterations. If you dont have the consents in place do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your lawyer in the first instance. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming formality and delays many a Chorleywood and Rickmansworth home move. If a reissued share is necessary, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity.
