- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Dunmow can be reduced if you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Dunmow leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such changes. Should you dont have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor before hand. A minority of Dunmow leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is 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 buyers or their lawyers.
