This site is not designed to aid those in their quest for the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in Enfield Highway. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint organisations seducing you with low cost conveyancing in Enfield Highway.

We are acquiring a brand new apartment in Enfield Highway and my conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the builder. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and I don't want to prolong matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
The Enfield Highway conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Enfield Highway have without warning closed. I chose them because I needed a firm on the Principality conveyancing panel and my preferred Enfield Highway lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Principality conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Enfield Highway I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Enfield Highway suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Enfield Highway what are the most frequent lease defects?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Enfield Highway. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Insurance obligations
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Lloyds TSB Bank, Bank of Scotland, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.
