We instructed a Tufnell Park based solicitor for our conveyancing in Tufnell Park last week.

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover those conveyances that abort. Dont forget that these promotions tend not to protect you from disbursements for instance Tufnell Park conveyancing search expenses.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Tufnell Park. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. Not long after, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Co-operative 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 Co-operative 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.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Tufnell Park property lawyer having checked that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB 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 Tufnell 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.

Should I be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Tufnell Park conveyancing practice?

As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be most helpful. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may suggest conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your own conveyancer. Don't forget that many lenders specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.
