We are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Tottenham but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor in the sum of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Virgin Money will not permit this. Why were they approached?
The conveyancer being on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is required to inform Virgin Money of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Tottenham.
My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Tottenham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham. Having lived in Tottenham for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Tottenham. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
Having spent months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Tottenham. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
