We're in Seven Sisters, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Barclays , and our solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

My wife and I may need to let out our Seven Sisters basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Seven Sisters conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Your lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Seven Sisters do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Seven Sisters conveyancing firm to assist?
Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a Seven Sisters conveyancing firm who can help.

I am content to do everything electronically, but I guess at some stage we may be required to physically go into the conveyancer's office to sign documents?
Generally there is no requirement to attend the office of your property lawyer, they can send any relevant papers to you, which you can sign and send back. Many buyers and sellers nevertheless opt to instruct a locally based solicitor, but it is not a prerequisite for conveyancing in Seven Sisters.
