Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Fairlop. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Fairlop?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Fairlop lawyer having checked that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Fairlop surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Fairlop?

I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Fairlop. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the invoice as normal as all ground rent and maintenance payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Fairlop conveyancing firm to assist?
in cases where there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to make a decision on the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Fairlop premises is 104 Coventry Road in July 2014. The Tribunal determined that the lease extension permium should be £22,896.15 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term was 60.29 years.
As a tenant I am liable for a maintenance contribution for my ground floor flat in Fairlop. As a result of personal circumstances I slipped behind with remittance. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there is still in the region of £2000 currently outstanding.
I am under pressure to sell and I am concerned this will threaten to derail the sale if I have to settle the arrears in advance. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the completion monies - is this achievable?
The conveyancer handing your Fairlop sale will hopefully be in a position to negotiate with the management company, and agree with them whether or not they would accept settlement from completion monies. This is indicative of why it is sensible to choose a conveyancer in Fairlop as they are likely to have an established relationship with the management company.
