What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in Kingsland?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Kingsland or throughout London is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Kingsland is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Kingsland are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kingsland you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kingsland 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.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Kingsland. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Kingsland - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
