I can't travel far from Tottenham Green. Please spell out why all Tottenham Green conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
A decade ago most lenders exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the property lawyers on your panel. Consequently, banks have since requiredmore data from law firms about their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the minimum volume of transactions the lenders insisted on.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Tottenham Green I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 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 buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

The property lawyers conducting our conveyancing in Tottenham Green has forwarded documents to review that show the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Surely all houses in Tottenham Green are registered?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Tottenham Green are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still some that remain unregistered. Any property in Tottenham Green that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Tottenham Green property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Tottenham Green conveyancing practitioners will be able to handle such matters but where uncertainty reigns the usual advice these days appears to be for the seller’s conveyancer to register it first and subsequently sell - this will have a knock on effect to cause a significant delay.
