My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Haringey. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
The first thing to do is contact the lawyer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can call Norwich and Peterborough Building Society who may be able to help.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Haringey benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Haringey is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Haringey are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Haringey you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Haringey may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Haringey and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to commercial lessees, granting the right to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a great price which is making it more attractive.
