You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent.

Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Barnet?
Unless a prior purchase of the premises completed post 12 October 2013 you can expect lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Barnet to continue to suggest a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Barnet completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

The benefit of a local Barnet conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute documents, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were content that must trump using an unfamiliar Barnet conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
