What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in Tottenham Green?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Tottenham Green and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, property agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Tottenham Green should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
Are all Tottenham Green Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing list of approved practices?
Some major lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
We were going to get a DIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Tottenham Green solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Tottenham Green solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Tottenham Green on 25/9/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for stalling in Tottenham Green conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Tottenham Green.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Tottenham Green is where the house is located. 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 where you use a solicitor outside Tottenham Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tottenham Green may decide 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 premises.

My father completed his conveyancing in Tottenham Green 7 years ago. He has got wed, widowed and has recently married again. He will be selling the apartment in a couple of months. I suspect that he will just be asked to supply copies of his marriage certificates to the conveyancer but he is worried it will frustrate the home move. Should he instruct a conveyancing practitioner to update the Land Registry details for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the register as long as you have the evidence required to show how the name change resulted.
Any purchaser’s conveyancer should examine the title details and requisition evidence to prove the name change e.g. marriage documentation.
