I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Darwen is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Darwen you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Darwen may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Darwen from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Darwen can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers.
  • In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Darwen state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such works. Should you dont have the paperwork in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer before hand. If you have had any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may need to swallow your pride 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 will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic rather than unsettled. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate. Arranging a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming process and slows down many a Darwen home move. If a duplicate share is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible.
