Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in South Ruislip with the purpose of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in South Ruislip can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers. A minority of South Ruislip 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 put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly 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 actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? South Ruislip leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such works. If you dont have the consents in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer first.
