I am in the process of remortgaging my property in Haringey, does my lawyer need to be on the Nottingham Conveyancing panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nottingham will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Haringey 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know precisely where to look for all the relevant documentation so you may purchase or sell your house without a hitch. Where copies can’t be located, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Haringey in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to give a mortgage on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can check via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Haringey. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Haringey especially if they are familiar with such properties in Haringey.
I am looking for a conveyancing solicitor in Haringey for my sale. Is it possible to review a solicitor's record with the profession’s regulator?

To find details Pre 2008, or to check a solicitors record, telephone 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 any week day save for Tuesday when lines open at 9.30am.

My wife and I have AIP from Godiva Mortgages Ltd who have advised we could borrow up to £400k. When do we need to appoint a solicitor for conveyancing? Haringey is where we are buying.
It would be wise to instruct a lawyer now requesting that they create a file on your behalf. This will kickstart: 1) the estate agent to issue a Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s conveyancing practitioner to send out the draft contract. However, do not ask your conveyancing practitioner to order searches until you receive your valuation report via Godiva Mortgages Ltd and you are willing to move forward.
