As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Ponders End what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Ponders End
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Ponders End or throughout North London is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, selling agent and on occasion a mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Ponders End is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your solicitor ahead of the other parties in the conveyancing process.
My wife and I purchased a renovated Victorian property in Ponders End. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ponders End and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

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. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
