My partner and I are in the process of viewing houses in Tottenham Green and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it sensible to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.
It would be prudent to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Tottenham Green on 11/11/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Are Barclays entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Tottenham Green I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Tottenham Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Am I best advised to appoint a Tottenham Green conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal work but they are based a couple of hundredkilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Tottenham Green conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Tottenham Green know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were happy that should outweigh using an unknown Tottenham Green conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
I own a garden flat in Tottenham Green. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium due for a lease extension?
Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to arrive at the sum to be paid.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Tottenham Green flat is 22 Wakefield Road in January 2012. Following a vesting order Clerkenwell and Shoreditch County Court under section 26 of the Leasehold Reform,Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 on 9th May 2011 the Tribunal decided that the price that the Applicant for the freehold interest should pay is £17,400 This case affected 2 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 74.13 years.
What are the common defects that you see in leases for Tottenham Green properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Tottenham Green is not unique. All leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the property A duty to insure the building
You may have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Chelsea Building Society, and Clydesdale all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.
