Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Colerne with the aim of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Colerne can be reduced where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Colerne state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. If you dont have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer first. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle 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 are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over rather than ongoing. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Organising a duplicate share certificate is often a lengthy process and slows down many a Colerne home move. If a new share is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later.
