AssumingI was to buy a simple residential homein Winchmore Hill for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Winchmore Hill?
Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the disbursement for searches. A property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your sellers conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage however it won't be meaningful.

Will my conveyancer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Winchmore Hill.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Winchmore Hill. Some people will buy a house in Winchmore Hill, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their lawyers which will figure out the risks in Winchmore Hill. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the owner to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s lawyers should also order an enviro report. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Winchmore Hill , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Winchmore Hill conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Winchmore Hill registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Winchmore Hill and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, giving them the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Winchmore Hill
Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in Winchmore Hill on a public holiday?
Because on completion the funds needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the purchaser and seller's conveyancing practitioner and at present this can only take place on a business day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
