We are buying a house in Harlesden. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we will need to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
My partner and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from Barclays as we want to carry out alterations to our home in Harlesden. Do we need to select a local Harlesden solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Barclays would not normally appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays list.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Harlesden. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £150. Soon after, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Harlesden I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Harlesden suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
