My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a property in Radlett but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors of six thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Radlett is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we use their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Radlett

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Radlett conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

I today plan to offer on a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a great price which is making it all the more appealing. I have since discovered that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Radlett. Conveyancing advisers have are soon to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?

This is one of the situations where having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process.

The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the landlord’spermission to carry out changes to the property.

You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Radlett conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Radlett residence is 42 Churchill Road in March 2013.

I pay a service charge for my ground floor flat in Radlett. As a result of flawed financial planning I fell into arrears with payments. The management company agreed a payment plan but there remains three grand left to be paid.

I now wish to dispose of the property and I am nervous that this can jeopardize the sale if I have to settle the amount due first. I'd like to sell up and then pay them back with the proceeds - is this practicable?

You should clarify with the solicitor carrying out your Radlett conveyancing but it may be possible to agree for the outstanding amount to be attributed to the buyers. The purchase price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then deal with the arrears once they are the owners.
