I am the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Pevensey Bay. The Pevensey Bay property was put into my name in January.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Pevensey Bay with the aim of speeding up the sale process?

• Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Pevensey Bay can be reduced where you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers.
A minority of Pevensey Bay leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Pevensey Bay leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord consenting to such changes. Where you dont have the consents to hand do not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor in the first instance. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should verify this by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is under 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve 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 details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing.
