At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Barnet and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Barnet you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing.

My fiance and I are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Barnet with a residential mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We like our Barnet conveyancing practitioner but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society advised that he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Norwich and Peterborough Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society

You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
