we are a couple who wish to acquire a 1 bedroom flat in Friern Barnet with a homeloan from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We use our Friern Barnet conveyancing practitioner but Accord Mortgages Ltd informed us his firm is not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Accord Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?

No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd

What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Friern Barnet

It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Friern Barnet conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am buying a end of terrace house in Friern Barnet. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to determine if these works are allowed?

We had instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Friern Barnet on the Lloyds solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
