Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Mayfield from the perspective of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Mayfield can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ solicitors.
    • If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a flat where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or settle 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 will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to verify this by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. It is therefore essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Arranging a replacement share certificate is often a time consuming process and delays many a Mayfield home move. If a reissued share is required, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity.
