Selling freehold flat, managing agent will not provide freehold info that my buyer needs and is jeopardising my sale
3 Answers
I am currently selling a flat. It's one of a small block of 10. I bought the flat 6 months ago - it was repossessed, had been empty for some time and there was therefore little info available. Residents pay a management fee of £25 a month which I have paid since the time of purchase. My buyer's solicitor has presented us with a long list of questions they need from the freeholder (eg: copy of the building insurance, fire safety certificate etc, etc). This list was sent to a resident of the block who is a director of the Management Company three weeks ago, and a further letter sent explaining the urgency but we have had no response. I have no telephone number for this man and I cannot get to the front door of his flat as there is a code pad on the outer door. In desperation I rang the accountancy firm that deal with the management company to see if they had contact details for him - they were unwilling to give me his phone number, but said they would ring to chase him. I rang again on Friday morning and they said they had given him my number and he would be in touch. They promised to call him again and get him to call me (it's now Sunday night and he hasn't). We are due to exchange/complete on the sale on Thursday 23rd December but will not be able to do so without this info. Would I have grounds to sue this guy for withholding the info if my sale fell through as a result?
