IfI was to buy a simple residential homein Finchley mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Finchley?
The only saving you would make on is the Finchley conveyancing searches. A conveyancing practitioner is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the vendors lawyer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it won't be meaningful.
My home in Finchley is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my solicitor have to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.
My wife and I purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Finchley. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve investigations to determine if these works were previously refused?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Finchley will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain alterations or necessitated the permission of another owner. Some additions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Finchley conveyancer having checked that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Finchley surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
