We chose a local firm for my conveyancing in Camden Town last week. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and choose a web based lawyer offering no move no charge conveyancing in Camden Town?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to offset the cases that abort. Dont forget that these deals generally do not protect you from disbursements for instance Camden Town conveyancing search expenses.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to to identify law firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Camden Town?
We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Yorkshire BS, do Camden Town conveyancing practitioners face a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

My offer was accepted on a property in Camden Town on 16/7/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to UBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Are UBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Principality have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Camden Town has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will wish to be advised as to your lawyer's details (make sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Principality or the broker and complete any relevant forms. Principality will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Principality will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Camden Town.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Camden Town I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Camden Town suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
