- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Haywards Heath can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors. Some Haywards Heath leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual 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 lawyers.
