You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Gidea Park and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the home moving process. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Gidea Park is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to protect you.

On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way.

Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Gidea Park is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Gidea Park are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Gidea Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gidea Park may ascertain 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 property.

I own a leasehold house in Gidea Park. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Gidea Park who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Gidea Park conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I am the proprietor of a two-bedroom flat in Gidea Park. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for a lease extension?

Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Gidea Park conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Gidea Park residence is 37 Lodge Court High Street in November 2013. the decision of the LVT was that the premium to be paid for the new lease was £25,559 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 57.5 years.

My mum and dad are unable to locate their Gidea Park property on the HMLR website. They recall that 48 years ago when they acquired the property there were complications with Gidea Park not being identified on some systems.

Nearly all residences in Gidea Park should appear. Have you limited your search with simply the postcode. Usually it should disclose all the properties inside the postcode. Where recorded it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
