It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in North London. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't locate the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in North London involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

We have not been informed any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.

Is it correct that all North London CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?

A selection of banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

Skipton don't usually appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in North London on 18/2/2026, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in North London. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

If the lease is registered - and most are in North London - 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 am the registered owner of a garden flat in North London. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum payable for the purchase of the freehold?

if there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to calculate the amount due.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a North London residence is 20 Avonwick Road in July 2013. The Tribunal was dealing with an application under Section 26 of the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 for a determination of the freehold value of the property. It was concluded that the price to be paid was Fifteen Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy (£15,970) divided as to £8,200 for Flat 20 and £7,770 for Flat 20A This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 73.26 years.

There are a lot of properties in North London on private lanes. I am buying such a property. Are there any benefits to buying a house on a private road?

North London conveyancing practices will be familiar with dealing propertieson unadopted roads. The conveyancing practitioner should review the Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners make annual payments for the upkeep of the road. Where one exists, the road will likely be maintained and appear better than council maintained.
