What will a local search reveal about the property my wife and I buying in Finchley?
Finchley conveyancing often commences with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search is essential in every Finchley conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home. The search will supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject headings.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Finchley 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
You no longer need to have the physical original deeds to prove you are the owner of your registered land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Finchley in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold home.

I was recommended by a few selling agents in Finchley to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
