Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Merton Park with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Merton Park can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers. Some Merton Park 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 financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying 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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Organising a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy process and frustrates many a Merton Park conveyancing transaction. Where a new share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Merton Park state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such works. Where you dont have the paperwork in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer first.
