Assignments & Transfers

An unrivalled and complete service in dealing with assignments or other dispositions

JB Leitch Real Estate bring considerable experience and technical expertise to assignments and transfers, scrutinising relevant documentation in order to ensure that all of the relevant provisions within a lease regarding the sale of that leasehold interest have been complied with.

Our services include:

Drafting and reviewing Deeds of Covenant
Licences to Assign
Certificates of Compliance
Receipt Notice of Charge/Transfer
Share Transfers
Freehold Transfers
Sales and Pre-Sale Packs

Given the current focus on leasehold reform, coupled with unprecedented levels of activity in property purchase and sales including replies to leasehold enquiries, now is the time to ensure your processes and reasonable costings are in place. We offer an outsourced solution for this.

We understand that dealing with this documentation and ensuring that it has been attended to correctly can be a major headache for landlords, management companies or agents - the need for sound application of legal know-how is something of a daunting task. We pride ourselves not only on handling these tasks well for our clients but also in providing expert legal advice to compliment the service that we offer so that you know the work is not only done - but done properly.

During our long relationship, JB Leitch has become part of our core team. Their Landlord and Tenant advice is authoritative and clear, and they understand our sector inside out. Their credit control service is highly effective, but also sensitive to the wider relationship we have with our leaseholders
Tim Wilson - Managing Director - E&J Estates
We have worked with JB Leitch for many years now. Their knowledge surrounding the legalities and technicalities of Service Charge collection is excellent and their approach is always helpful and professional.

During this particularly challenging time they continue to provide invaluable support by remaining easily contactable, sending regular reports and offering solutions to any problems that may arise.

Lucie-Anne Rhodes - Head of Legal - Operations - FirstPort
Over the last five years we have built a solid relationship with JB Leitch, they have provided us with a remarkable ground rent collection service for our freehold property portfolio on criteria and non-criteria debts. They provide a fast, effective recovery of our stand alone Ground Rent and also through their bolt-on Service Charge recovery by liaising with multiple managing agents on our behalf.
Bernadette Jones - General Manager - HomeGround Management Ltd
I would highly recommend JB Leitch although part of me would like to keep them a secret to ensure we have the advantage over competitors. They have increased my knowledge of the legal processes as well as the preparation required to avoid any issues from the beginning.
Dave Poppleton - Director - Inspired Property Management
After using JB Leitch for a number of years, we have personally found them to be very professional and reliable. Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward use JB Leitch on a large number of blocks and have recovered an outstanding amount of service charge arrears, in a particular case recovering over £12,000 from one owner.
Carl Warland - Block & Portfolio Management Director - Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward
JB Leitch are simply excellent. It is good to know that we are dealing with a market leading firm who provide superb quality up-to-date advice. When we give JB Leitch an instruction, whether a routine enfranchisement or a complex leasehold query they always deliver. They are highly responsive, professional and have a great team. A pleasure to do business with!
