Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Muswell Hill is more expensive?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Muswell Hill and North London usually necessitates additional work compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, liaising with the landlord concerning serving appropriate notices, securing current service charge and management information, securing the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first granted.
I am downsizing from our property in Muswell Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Muswell Hill. We have lived in Muswell Hill for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should check with 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 ailment)
I have justfound out that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Muswell Hill for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, 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 Muswell Hill conveyancing specialists.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Muswell Hill. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
Taking into account that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Muswell Hill I wish to talk to a conveyancer about myhouse move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Muswell Hill
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Muswell Hill conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
