Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Westcombe Park with the intention of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Westcombe Park can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. 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 better to reveal the dispute as over rather than unresolved. 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 Westcombe Park state that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Where you fail to have the approvals to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in the first instance. A minority of Westcombe Park 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 obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The 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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.

Our estate agent has suggested using their property lawyer for the conveyancing in Westcombe Park - Surely it’s advisable to just use them?
It is not always the case and you are at liberty to instruct whichever solicitor you decide for your Westcombe Park home move. The solicitor put forward by a 3rd party adviser may not necessarily be the right conveyancer, they may suggest their preferred conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your property lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
