We had chosen conveyancers with offices in Wood Green on the Lloyds solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional sum for the legal aspects of the Lloyds mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Lloyds but by your Wood Green property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Lloyds panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.

We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Skipton as we wish to conduct renovations to our home in Wood Green. Do we need to choose a high street Wood Green solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Skipton would not normally instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton list.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Wood Green off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

Have purchased a a detached house in Wood Green , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Wood Green conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are addressed.

As far as conveyancing in Wood Green is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any third parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am buying my first flat in Wood Green with a loan from TSB. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it may impact my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Wood Green I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wood Green for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
