Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Par I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Par in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Par from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Par can be reduced where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors.
  • If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. Many landlords or managing agents in Par levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Par. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but you should verify this via your lawyers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is less than 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share document. Arranging a new share certificate is often a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Par conveyancing deal. Where a duplicate share certificate is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible.
