I am helping my sister sell her property in Tottenham. Will the conveyancer arrange the energy assessment or do I organise this?

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments remained a compulsory component of selling a property. An energy assessment must be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. This is not something that solicitors normally arrange. If you are using a Tottenham conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with long established local assessors

When it comes to lenders such as HSBC, do Tottenham conveyancing practitioners incur a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

My wife and I are in the throws of looking at houses in Tottenham and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Skipton.

You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

The deeds to our property can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Tottenham 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor should know exactly where to look for all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch. If copies are not available, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of flats in Tottenham which have approximately 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?

There are plenty of short leases in Tottenham. The lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.

I am the proprietor of a first floor flat in Tottenham. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?

if there is a absentee freeholder or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the LVT to assess the sum to be paid.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Tottenham residence is 30 Strode Road in June 2013. Following a vesting order by Edmonton County Court on 20th February 2013 the Tribunal arrived at a valuation for enfranchisement of £10,256 for the premises (£4,074 for the Ground Floor Flat and £6182 for the First Floor Flat) and £100 for the appurtenant land. This case related to 2 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 83.33 and 77.3.
