It is is a decade since I purchased my home in East Finchley. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in East Finchley relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Please help - my lawyer says that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for East Finchley conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Bank of Ireland are being difficult. The East Finchley solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Just acquired a detached house in East Finchley , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My East Finchley conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in East Finchley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not always top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. East Finchley is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in East Finchley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside East Finchley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in East Finchley 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.
