Just bought a terraced house in New Southgate , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My New Southgate conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in New Southgate registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not typically primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in New Southgate differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in New Southgate come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in New Southgate typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in New Southgate or who has acted in the same development.

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in New Southgate

It is improbable the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred New Southgate conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in New Southgate. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in New Southgate - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can one make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a New Southgate conveyancing firm to represent me?

Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a New Southgate conveyancing firm who can help.

We are in the process of acquiring a home in New Southgate. Could our conveyancing practitioner keep the amount we are are buying for a secret from sites such as Zoopla. How do I make sure this is not revealed?

HM Land Registry as a matter of law bound to specify price paid data on a register of the title for residential properties countrywide which includes properties in New Southgate. The register of ownership is an open document, so HMLR would be breaching their statutory duty if they did not grant access to the register.

In essence you can ask HM Land Registry to hide the amount paid data yet the answer would be in the negative.
