I am in need of a property lawyer. Should I go for for a national conveyancer as opposed to a family Tottenham conveyancing lawyer?
Established third party connections are another important factor to consider when appointing conveyancing lawyers. Tottenham conveyancers often have long term relationships with financial advisers and agents, local authorities, surveyors and other law firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Hosting vast experience in the local area is an advantage.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Nationwide Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Tottenham?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
We are purchasing a apartment in Tottenham. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we will need to put our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
My fiancee and I are in the process of viewing flats in Tottenham and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer in place at this point? I am planning to take a mortgage with UBS.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Tottenham. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Kent Reliance panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
What can a local search inform me concerning the house I am buying in Tottenham?
Tottenham conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Onsearch The local search is essential in every Tottenham conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty once you have moved into your property. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject areas.
I'm refinancing my primary home to a BTL loan with Bank of Scotland and intend to use the remaining equity towards further property. The neighborhood we are talking about is Tottenham. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of lenders and link together the conveyances?
Make use of our search tool on this page to check that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are your conveyancer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should have a chat with you solicitor and make clear your expectations and needs.
