If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Pentonville what would it be?
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Pentonville conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
I am purchasing a ground floor maisonette in Pentonville. Conveyancing solicitor has been waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance documents. I was told today I was informed that the owner needs to forward the insurance schedule for the flat above as well. Why does my lawyer want to see the insurance for the flat above? Is it really required? We have been stalled for the last 3 weeks…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Pentonville to find Conveyancing in Pentonville in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire premises - which is clearly better. You should check with your conveyancer but it would seem that your conveyancing practitioner is seeking to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance.
