We are purchasing our first home. Our solicitor has texted usto check if we would like to purchase supplemental conveyancing searches. As novices we have no idea as to what's needed for conveyancing in Haringey
The quantity and type of Haringey conveyancing searches should be triggered based entirely on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your knowledge of the locality and risks, your overall approach to risk. What is important is that you properly comprehend what information the searches could provide. Then you can decide if you personally think you need that information. Should you be unclear, ask the lawyer to advise.
My partner and I are intent on selling our home in Haringey and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Haringey conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Haringey. We have lived in Haringey for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must enquire of 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)
I have recentlybecome aware that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Haringey for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Haringey conveyancing specialists.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Haringey is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Haringey are rare 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 diligently. Your lender 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 premises.

The 1954 Act gives protection to business lessees, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term.

Am I better off to instruct a Haringey conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can perform the conveyancing however her office is 200kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Haringey conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Haringey know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and the majority were impressed that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Haringey conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
