I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the conveyancing panel. Can you assist?

You should e-mail your solicitor and ask them whether they can act for the bank. Alternatively you should call who may be able to assist.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Tottenham. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?

Given that you are now exchanged you should choose a conveyancing practitioner soon as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the purchase. Every auction property should have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the auction papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You need to give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete on the on the contractual date .

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Tottenham. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Tottenham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Tottenham is on the conveyancing panel.

I have todayfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Tottenham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Tottenham conveyancing specialists.
