Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Gidea Park?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Gidea Park.

How does conveyancing in Gidea Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Gidea Park approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Gidea Park tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Gidea Park or who has acted in the same development.

I own a leasehold house in Gidea Park. Conveyancing and The Mortgage Works mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Gidea Park who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Gidea Park conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
