Having sold my house in Harringay last February but the buyer keeps Skype messaging every few hours complaining that her lawyer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Post completion of your house sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Where appropriate, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Harringay.
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Harringay concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Harringay. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Harringay

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please supply a car parking plan. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I opted to have a survey done on a house in Harringay ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to issue a mortgage on such a premises.

What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Harringay conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Harringay conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Harringay conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:
-
Can they put you in touch with clients in Harringay who can give a testimonial? If the firm is not ALEP accredited then why not?
Following months of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Harringay. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
if there is a missing landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to decide the sum to be paid.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Harringay premises is 37 St. Margarets Avenue in January 2010.

The remaining number of years on the lease was 74.75 years.
