Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Marks Gate from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Marks Gate can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers. A minority of Marks Gate leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the annual 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 buyers or their solicitors. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate.

If a reissued share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this as soon as possible. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should verify this by asking your conveyancers. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is below 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.

Builders have put forward a property lawyer and I've received a quote from them. They are nearly two hundred pounds less expensive than my local Marks Gate conveyancer. Should I use them?
Builders often have panels of solicitors who are quick and who know the seller’s paperwork and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use their approved property lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they demand an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended lawyer is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the sellers. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street Marks Gate property lawyer.
