Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Mulbarton from the point of view of expediting the sale process?

• Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Mulbarton can be avoided if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ representatives.
Many landlords or Management Companies in Mulbarton 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 pack sought on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Mulbarton. Some Mulbarton leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are 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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Mulbarton leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such works. Should you dont have the paperwork in place you should not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in the first instance.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.

Why is it not possible to complete my conveyancing in Mulbarton on May bank holiday?

This is due to the fact that on completion the sale price will pass between the banks of the buyer and seller's solicitor and currently this can only happen on a working day. So you can't complete on a saturday or sunday either.
