How does conveyancing in New Southgate differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in New Southgate come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in New Southgate tend to acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in New Southgate or who has acted in the same development.
Should I be wary by estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street New Southgate conveyancing company?
As is the case with many service providers, often suggestions from connections can be very helpful.

On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that many banks operate an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your house move.
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our New Southgate garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a New Southgate conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in New Southgate do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
After months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in New Southgate. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
