Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Vauxhall with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Vauxhall can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ conveyancers. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. 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 purchasers, 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? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Vauxhall leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. Should you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer in advance. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Arranging a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming formality and delays many a Vauxhall home move. Where a reissued share certificate is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Vauxhall charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Vauxhall.
