Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Winchmore Hill. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as usual because all rents and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I inherited a second floor flat in Winchmore Hill. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount due for a lease extension?
if there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to calculate the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Winchmore Hill flat is First Floor Flat 109 Lyndhurst Road in May 2010. Following a vesting order by Edmonton County Court on 29th October 2009 the Tribunal decided on a figure of £5,012 for a lease extension. This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired term was 81.79 years.
My wife and I have selected a Winchmore Hill conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have picked up in the engagement letter that they are not covered by the Financial Conduct Authority. Am I right to be concerned or is that usually the case with lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. They should be regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who have specific rules in place on monies deposited on client account.
