When will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Friern Barnet and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Friern Barnet you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Friern Barnet)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Friern Barnet registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Friern Barnet. Conveyancing and Bank of Scotland mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing practitioner in Friern Barnet who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Friern Barnet conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I inherited a first flat in Friern Barnet. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for a lease extension?
if there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to calculate the premium.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Friern Barnet flat is 34 Poplar Grove in June 2013. The Tribunal directed that the premium for the lease extension should be in the sum of £10,250. This case was in relation to 1 flat.
