IfI were to acquire a simple residential housein Tottenham Hale for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Tottenham Hale?

The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the costs for searches. The property lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers lawyer, SDLT submission, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it won't be a lot.

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to list practices on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for example in Tottenham Hale?

We are not aware of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.

I purchased a terraced Edwardian property in Tottenham Hale. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Tottenham Hale and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Tottenham Hale with the intention of expediting the sale process?

• Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Tottenham Hale can be avoided where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers.
If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Tottenham Hale state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such works. If you dont have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor before hand. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Organising a new share certificate is often a time consuming process and frustrates many a Tottenham Hale conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible. A minority of Tottenham Hale leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers.
