<a id="who-manages"></a><h3>Who manages my leasehold property?</h3>

<p>Management can vary. Sometimes the freeholder handles things directly, other times they use a managing agent, and the council act as managing agent for some buildings. You can track down the details through:
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Your original management pack
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Your lease document
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 HM Land Registry website
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 The bill for your service charge

<a id="request-pack"></a><h3>How do I request a Management Pack?</h3>
<p>Your solicitor will request the management pack. Pro tip: the earlier you start, the smoother the process.

<a id="when"></a><h3>When do I need to get the Management Pack?</h3> 
<p>The earlier you get the management pack in motion, the better. These packs can take time to compile, and the last thing you want is paperwork slowing down your property sale.

<p>Our top tip? Hire your solicitor and start gathering your documents while we're conducting viewings and finding your buyer. Our Conveyan panel solicitors work on a no sale, no legal fee basis, making it a risk-free move to get ahead.

<P>You accept an offer, and your solicitor sends over the contract that same day. Conveyan provides a Sale-Ready Pack that can ensure you're fully prepared, cutting through delays and getting you moving faster. It makes the most complex stage of selling property so much simpler – you’ll thank yourself later.

<a id="cost"></a><h3>How much does a management pack cost? Who pays it?</h3>
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Cost: £200 to £500 
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Paid by: The seller (that's you) 
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Best practice: Pay quickly to avoid delays

<a id="timeline"></a><h3>How long does it take to get a leasehold management pack?</h3> 
<p>Typical turnaround is up to six weeks, depending on the management company's organisation and workload. This is why we recommend:
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Hiring a solicitor early
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Starting paperwork during property viewings
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Preparing your Sale-Ready Pack in advance


<a id="expiration"></a><h3>When does a management pack expire?</h3> 
<p>Management packs typically expire after six months. After this point, the information will need to be updated.


<a id="what-to-do"></a><h3>What do you do with the management pack?</h3> 
<p>It’s your solicitor who deals with your management pack, so it’s a good idea to keep your solicitor in the loop on any communications you have with the managing agent or freeholder.


<a id="legal-requirement"></a><h3>Is the management pack a legal requirement?</h3>  
<p>While not technically mandatory, the information is crucial for due diligence and compliance. Buyers and their solicitors won't likely proceed without it.


<a id="buyer-request"></a><h3>Can your buyer request the management pack themselves?</h3>  
<p>No. Only you or your solicitor can receive the management pack from the freeholder or managing agent.


<h3>What is in a management pack?</h3>  
<p>Your pack will be specific to your property includes crucial details like:
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Management contact information
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Service charge forecasts and accounts
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Ground rent
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Building insurance
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Fire risk and asbestos reports
<p style="margin-left: 25px"> &#x2022 Planned maintenance works

Buying

properties-near-london-parks

<h2 class='intro_basic'>As we head into spring and Londoners flock to parks across the city, we're looking at what park-side living means for property buyers and sellers.</h2>

<p>The sunshine has transformed London today. Whether you're enjoying lunch on a local Common or drinks at a riverside pub, days like this showcase why homes near parks command such premium prices. 

<p>Is it worth booking a viewing? Getting your park-adjacent home valued? Here’s what our experts have to say…

<h3>Expert insight: the park premium </h3>
<p>For this, we look to a local expert. William Cooke, Operations Director – Sales in Foxtons Battersea office, shares his experience with property near Battersea Park:

<p style="margin-left: 25px">"Living near London's parks commands significant price premiums, we even shared some research showing properties adjacent to premier parks priced 53% higher than the broader market. Battersea Park boasts the second-highest premium in the capital, with homes across SW11, SW3, and SW8 averaging £927,098—50% higher than wider Wandsworth.<sup>1</sup>

<p style="margin-left: 25px">I can tell you from experience that homes near Battersea Park are remarkably sought-after. They rarely linger on the market – we often have multiple viewings scheduled within days of listing, and competitive offers follow quickly.

<p style="margin-left: 25px">As a seller, this means you can expect strong interest and potentially favourable selling conditions. We're constantly on the lookout for new properties in this area to meet the persistent demand from our qualified buyers.

<p style="margin-left: 25px">For buyers, these spring days truly showcase what makes Battersea special - families enjoying picnics by the lake, joggers on tree-lined paths, and residents savouring the peaceful green space in urban London. When you purchase here, you're not just buying a home but investing in a lifestyle and a historically resilient asset.”

<h3>The green city</h3>
<p>With nearly 3,000 parks across London (<a href='https://www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/environment-and-climate-change/parks-green-spaces-and-biodiversity/parks-and-green-spaces#:~:text=London%20is%20a%20surprisingly%20green,reservoirs%2C%20and%20riversides%20to%20explore.' target='_blank'>source</a>), this 'park premium' extends well beyond Battersea. From the vast expanses of Richmond Park to the manicured gardens of Regent's Park and the community feel of all our amazing local Commons, proximity to green space consistently boosts property values.

<p>At Foxtons, our local experts can provide tailored insights for your specific area – whether you're selling near Greenwich Park, buying close to Hampstead Heath, or exploring options around Victoria Park. We understand the nuances of each local market and can help you maximize your property's park proximity value or find the perfect green space home that meets your lifestyle needs.
