Having sold my house in Tottenham Hale last March but my buyer keeps texting every few hours to say their conveyancer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Following your house sale your conveyancer is committed to forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also confirm that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Tottenham Hale.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Tottenham Hale. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham Hale?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Tottenham Hale. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Tottenham Hale. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

The deeds to our house are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Tottenham Hale 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

Where duplicates are not available, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on your premises.
How does conveyancing in Tottenham Hale differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tottenham Hale approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Tottenham Hale usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tottenham Hale or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Tottenham Hale is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Tottenham Hale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tottenham Hale you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tottenham Hale may determine 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 residence.
