As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Tottenham what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Tottenham
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Tottenham or throughout North London is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially a lender. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Tottenham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Tottenham where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Tottenham conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
Despite our best endeavours, we have been unsuccessful in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Tottenham. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Where there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to decide the premium.
