Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Kenley with the intention of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Kenley can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Kenley charge for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Kenley. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a flat where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. 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 particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Obtaining a replacement share certificate is often a time consuming process and delays many a Kenley home move. Where a new share is necessary, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this sooner rather than later.
