Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Tottenham Green and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and even potentially a lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Tottenham Green should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

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 CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Tottenham Green I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tottenham Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
