I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years built) in Enfield Highway. The vast majority the appartments have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Enfield Highway?
You are opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in failing carrying out Enfield Highway conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would seriously advise in no uncertain terms that you have them. If timings and price are top of your concerns you should discuss with your conveyancer about the possibility of search insurance

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Enfield Highway. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. Not long after, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. 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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
