Me and my fiance are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Enfield Highway with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Enfield Highway lawyer, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or keep our Enfield Highway solicitor and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; are we not able to insist that the bank use our Enfield Highway conveyancing practitioner ?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Enfield Highway conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I bought my apartment on 11 September and my personal details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Enfield Highway said it would be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in Enfield Highway uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Enfield Highway is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I'm buying a flat in Enfield Highway. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
