- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Enderby can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ lawyers. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Obtaining a new share certificate can be a lengthy process and frustrates many a Enderby home move. Where a reissued share is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. 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? Enderby leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord approving such alterations. Where you dont have the consents to hand you should not contact the landlord without checking with your lawyer first. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder 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 reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge 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 particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Enderby levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Enderby.
