What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Tottenham Green?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Tottenham Green and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, property agent and on occasion a bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Tottenham Green should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a potential adversary will attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

My offer on a property in Tottenham Green has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham Green. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Tottenham Green conveyancing search costs, etc).

I'm buying a new build house in Tottenham Green with a loan from TSB. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with TSB. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Tottenham Green is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Tottenham Green are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tottenham Green may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
