Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Finchley

Due to move into my new home in Finchley next Thursday. My lawyer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the bank. What does the insurance need to cover?

All property lawyers on acting for banks would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Finchley.

We are downsizing from our house in Finchley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Finchley. We have lived in Finchley for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Finchley?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Finchley. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Finchley. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Finchley

    Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

My husband and I are 3 weeks into a freehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Finchley. I am not happy. Can you help me find new solicitors?

They would need to be really poor in order to consider replacing them. Has your loan offer been sent? If so you must advise them of the replacement solicitor and have the offer are re-issued. Your new conveyancer should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added costs and complications. That should be your starting point. The search tool can help you find a bank approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Finchley

Fiveweeks into a sale of a flat in Finchley. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the managing agents. So far we have forked out £295.50 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £118 for supplemental questions raised by the buyers lawyer.

Neither you or your lawyer will have any impact over the extent of the bill for this information but the typical fee for the information for Finchley leasehold property is £395. For Finchley conveyancing deals it is standard for the vendor to pay for these charges. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to address such questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates set fees for administrative tasks. There is no prescriptive time limit by which they are required to issue answers.
