Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew with the intention of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew can be avoided if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is under 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. A minority of Thorpe St Andrew leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are 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 actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Thorpe St Andrew leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord consenting to such changes. Where you fail to have the approvals to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your lawyer in the first instance.
