I have just started taking steps with the intention of changing my existing standard mortgage to a Buy to Let National Westminster Bank mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I require a lawyer as part of the process. I had a chat my past Tottenham Green conveyancing practitioner who dealt with the legals when I first bought the property. The quote provided of £550 has taken me by surprise as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

Will my solicitor be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Tottenham Green.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Tottenham Green. Some people will acquire a house in Tottenham Green, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Tottenham Green. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s lawyers may also order an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Tottenham Green is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Tottenham Green are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tottenham Green 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 residence.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Tottenham Green. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Tottenham Green - 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 have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Tottenham Green conveyancing firm to assist?
in cases where there is a missing landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to make a decision on the amount due.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Tottenham Green flat is 22 Wakefield Road in January 2012. Following a vesting order Clerkenwell and Shoreditch County Court under section 26 of the Leasehold Reform,Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 on 9th May 2011 the Tribunal decided that the price that the Applicant for the freehold interest should pay is £17,400 This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 74.13 years.
I have noted on various consumer advice websites that before choosing a conveyancing lawyer they need approved by your mortgage company. It happens to be my first home move but I have an offer in principle from Halifax and I already have a high street conveyancing lawyer in Tottenham Green at the ready. Will Virgin Money need an approved conveyancer to be instructed? If so, where can I find that list for my conveyancing in Tottenham Green?
You need to instruct a solicitor that is on the Virgin Money panel. Simply telephone your chosen Tottenham Green conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Virgin Money panel. If they are not on the panel you have a couple of choices available to you here:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Tottenham Green lawyer but Virgin Money will no doubt retain a conveyancer on their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional fees and probable interruption.
- Get a fresh solicitor to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to attempt to join the mortgage company panel.
