My wife and I are purchasing a property in Primrose Hill. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we have to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We are due to move house in February. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Primrose Hill. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent but this should only be done after the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. You can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Primrose Hill or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Primrose Hill.
I am purchasing a end of terrace house in Primrose Hill. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to see if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Primrose Hill can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of alterations or require the consent of another owner. Some additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Primrose Hill?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Primrose Hill. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Primrose Hill. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Primrose Hill
-
Please supply a car parking plan. 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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Primrose Hill. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Primrose Hill - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I am the leaseholder of a first floor flat in Primrose Hill. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount due for the purchase of the freehold?
