Recently asked questions about conveyancing in New Barnet

I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in New Barnet. I have lived for the previous 15 years in New Barnet. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the New Barnet conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it could be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where properties with no practical issues can still throw up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in New Barnet should provide you some sensible advice concerning this.

We note that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our own conveyancing in New Barnet?

I purchased a renovated Georgian property in New Barnet. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Bank of Ireland to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in New Barnet and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

I own a leasehold house in New Barnet. Conveyancing and Godiva Mortgages Ltd mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in New Barnet who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?

First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a New Barnet conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
