How does conveyancing in Enfield Town differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Enfield Town approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Enfield Town usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Enfield Town or who has acted in the same development.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Sixty One years left on my flat in Enfield Town. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the landlord. For most situations an enquiry agent may be useful to conduct investigations and prepare a report which can be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Enfield Town.

My mum and dad cant seem to find their Enfield Town land registry title on the website. They recall that 50 years ago when they bought the property there were complications concerning the post code not being identified on some systems.
Nearly all premises in Enfield Town should show up. Have you tried a search to just the postcode. Normally it will identify all the houses and flats inside the postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will be there with a title number. Where they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s mortgage company.
