Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Wickford with the aim of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Wickford can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ representatives.
    • In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Wickford leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord approving such works. Should you dont have the consents in place you should not contact the landlord without checking with your lawyer in advance. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where a dispute is unsettled. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle 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 clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic rather than unsettled. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Wickford levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Wickford.

I own a studio flat in Wickford, conveyancing having been completed July 2006. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Wickford with a long lease are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2080

You have 54 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £32,300 and £37,400 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
