I selected a Totteridge based firm for our conveyancing in Totteridge yesterday. Upon checking the official terms of business I seewe are liable for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or instruct a web based solicitor practice advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Totteridge?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset those transactions that abort. Do bear in mind that such deals generally do not protect you from outlay for example Totteridge conveyancing search expenses.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Totteridge I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Totteridge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we use their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Totteridge
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Totteridge conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Totteridge 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Totteridge conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
The lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Totteridge do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Totteridge conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to decide the premium.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Totteridge premises is Flat 2 2 Netherfield Road in April 2010. The Tribunale held that premium payable for a 90 year extension to the existing Lease should be £7,705. This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 76 years.
