I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Totteridge I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Totteridge with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Totteridge can be reduced if you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unresolved. You will have to accept that you will have to 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 are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unsettled. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Totteridge leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Should you dont have the consents to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor before hand. A minority of Totteridge leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to 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 buyers or their lawyers.
