Willusing a Angel conveyancing lawyer make my purchase more efficient?
Existing third party connections is an important consideration when appointing conveyancing solicitors.

My wife and I are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Angel but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract but HSBC are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
The lawyer that is on the HSBC approved list is duty bound to advise HSBC of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the price change to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Angel.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Angel
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Angel is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Angel are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Angel you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Angel may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
