Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Palmers Green who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The estimate fees appear a tad high. If you you were to look around you might shave off some of the expense by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the assistance the firm provided you couldcome to rue opting for an an unknown lawyer. Remember to check that the firm can act for Bank of Ireland. You can make use of our search tool to select a Palmers Green conveyancing firm on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Palmers Green.
The Palmers Green conveyancing firm handling our Palmers Green conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. 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 am purchasing a new build house in Palmers Green with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Back In 2000, I bought a leasehold house in Palmers Green. Conveyancing and Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Palmers Green who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Palmers Green conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I own a a ground floor purpose built flat in Palmers Green. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium due for the purchase of the freehold?
in cases where there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Palmers Green premises is First Floor Flat 109 Lyndhurst Road in May 2010. Following a vesting order by Edmonton County Court on 29th October 2009 the Tribunal decided on a figure of £5,012 for a lease extension. This case affected 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 81.79 years.
I have miscalculated my finances and am a couple of thousand pounds short a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in Palmers Green , but I am keen exchange. What can I do?
One option is to try and accept a lesser deposit. Many property owners will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
