After what seems like an age a mortgage offer from HSBC for the remortgage of my 2 room garden flat is expected within the next few days. Are you able to suggest a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Palmers Green?
You are on the wrong site if you are in need of the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in Palmers Green. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint brokers enticing you with low cost conveyancing in Palmers Green. In your best case scenario, in being led by cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst you will end up paying a lot in additional fees and still not end up with the service expected.
Our solicitor has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Palmers Green. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that he must check that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Palmers Green is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Palmers Green are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Palmers Green you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Palmers Green may ascertain 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.
Am I best advised to instruct a Palmers Green conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal work but his firm is located 300miles away.
The benefit of a high street Palmers Green conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Palmers Green know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and they were impressed that should trump using an unfamiliar Palmers Green conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Palmers Green. 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 almost all are in Palmers Green - 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.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can a leaseholder apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Palmers Green conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
in cases where there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to judgment on the price.
