  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Whissendine can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives.
  • The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Whissendine charge for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Whissendine. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate.

Where a duplicate share certificate is necessary, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Whissendine leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such works.

A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the lease term is below 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale.
