Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Wallingford from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Wallingford can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers.
  • The majority of freeholders or Management Companies in Wallingford charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Wallingford. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Wallingford state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such works. Should you fail to have the approvals in place you should not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor in advance. Some Wallingford leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual 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 buyers or their lawyers. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where a dispute is ongoing. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to 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 clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic rather than unresolved.
