My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Ambleside

It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Ambleside conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Ambleside with the aim of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Ambleside can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ conveyancers.
  • If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Arranging a duplicate share certificate can be a lengthy formality and delays many a Ambleside conveyancing deal. Where a duplicate share certificate is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have had any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Ambleside state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Where you dont have the consents to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor first.
