We are purchasing a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham Green who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Virgin Money . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Tottenham Green.
My partner and I are planning on selling our house in Tottenham Green and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Tottenham Green conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham Green. We have lived in Tottenham Green for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Tottenham Green 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be held by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure current copies of the property title for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Tottenham Green I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tottenham Green for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
We expect to complete the disposal of our £475,000 garden flat in Tottenham Green in seven days. The managing agents has quoted £336 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Tottenham Green?
Tottenham Green conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally involves the purchaser’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address such questions most will be content to do so. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality you have little choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.
I own a basement flat in Tottenham Green. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum payable for a lease extension?
Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a Tottenham Green conveyancing firm who can help.
