Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Moor Park contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Moor Park with the aim of saving time on the sale process?

• Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Moor Park can be avoided if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers.
Some Moor Park leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet 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 buyers or their solicitors. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the lease term is below 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as over rather than unsettled. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Moor Park leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord consenting to such works. If you fail to have the approvals in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer first.
