The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Ackworth with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Ackworth can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ lawyers. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate.

It is the most usual reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Ackworth. Some Ackworth leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any 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.
