Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Fortis Green from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Fortis Green can be reduced where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ representatives. Many landlords or managing agents in Fortis Green charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management pack sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Fortis Green. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Fortis Green state that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Where you dont have the consents in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor before hand. Some Fortis Green leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.
