Your conveyancer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Wood Green will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of changes or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Certain additions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
We previously selected conveyancing lawyers with offices in Wood Green on the Barclays solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further sum for handling the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Barclays but by your Wood Green solicitor. Numerous firms on the Barclays panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Wood Green. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Wood Green - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Me and my partner are planning to purchase a 2 room housein Wood Green with a loan from a lender. We would like to retain our conveyancer in Wood Green however our lender advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Wood Green conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Wood Green : 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 your lender.
