I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Finsbury Park for our house move. Our financial adviser has since notified us that our bank Norwich and Peterborough Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Before the recession most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Finsbury Park conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The FSA in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more information from law firms regarding their operations and their employees and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of conveyancing. Many Finsbury Park conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Finsbury Park is one of the hundreds of locations where the solicitors we recommend are on the panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.
When it comes to lenders such as HSBC, do Finsbury Park solicitors incur an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Finsbury Park. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
I have instructed a Finsbury Park solicitor having made sure that they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds 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 Finsbury Park 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.
