I am the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Gorleston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December.

Will no one buy the property for half a year?

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Gorleston from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Gorleston can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ solicitors. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Gorleston state that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord approving such works. Should you fail to have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your lawyer in the first instance. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unsettled. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge 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 will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over rather than unresolved. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a replacement share certificate is often a time consuming process and delays many a Gorleston conveyancing transaction. If a reissued share is necessary, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later.
