Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Hambleton from the perspective of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Hambleton can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Hambleton leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. If you fail to have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance. A minority of Hambleton 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 should make it clear that the buyer is 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 actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Hambleton levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Hambleton. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but you should verify this via your conveyancers.

In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.
