We are approaching an exchange on a flat in Brent Cross and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The property lawyer is legally required to clarify with lender to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only report this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
My wife and I are selling our home in Brent Cross and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Brent Cross. We have lived in Brent Cross for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am purchasing my first flat in Brent Cross with a loan from Aldermore. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it would adversely affect my loan with Aldermore. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Brent Cross. Conveyancing and Barclays mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Brent Cross who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Brent Cross conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Brent Cross conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the sum to be paid.

The unexpired lease term was 71 years.
