Is the fact that my solicitor in Barbican is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should contact the Barbican conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am purchasing my first flat in Barbican with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Barbican and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Barbican. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Barbican area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Barbican. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we use their chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Barbican

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Barbican conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.

I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Barbican. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?

It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I am the proprietor of a ground floor flat in Barbican. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum payable for a lease extension?

Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to calculate the sum to be paid.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Barbican property is 137 & 139 Haberdasher Street in December 2013. The Tribunal determines in accordance with section 48 and Schedule 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease for each Property should be £12,350.00. This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 72.39 years.
