My friend's uncle is a property lawyer. I hope that I will receive preferential fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Friern Barnet?

You should compare pricing. Do use our search tool on this site. You will notice that prices may contrast greatly but service levels do are distinct between conveyancers as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.

The Friern Barnet conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Friern Barnet have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my preferred Friern Barnet lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to help.

My relative suggested that where I am buying in Friern Barnet I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Friern Barnet?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Friern Barnet. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Friern Barnet

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Friern Barnet conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

We recently discovered that one of the directors of the solicitors acting on the purchase conveyancing in Friern Barnet is is the mother of the owners that we are purchasing from. Is this permitted?

Provided no conflict arises this should be fine. If you are needing mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many lenders have specific instructions on this. For example for HSBC as of 3/4/2026, the requirements read as follows :
