I am getting a mortgage with Halifax. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Edmonton. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
The deeds to my property can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Edmonton 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title deeds to establish that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
How does conveyancing in Edmonton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Edmonton contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Edmonton 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Edmonton or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Edmonton I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Edmonton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
What makes your site different to other web based conveyancing solicitors when it comes to conveyancing in Edmonton?

I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Edmonton. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as usual as all rents and service invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I have given up trying to purchase the freehold in Edmonton. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the price payable.
An example of a Vesting Order and Purchase of freehold decision for a Edmonton property is Ground Floor Flat 4A Baronet Road in February 2010. Following a vesting order by Edmonton County Court on 23rd December 2008 (case number 8ED064) the Tribunal decided that the price that the Applicant for the freehold interest should pay is £8,689.00 This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired lease term was 80.01 years.
