My financial adviser has asked me for my Harlesden law firm’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have e-mailed my local Harlesden office but they don't know it.
You are best placed to get this information from your Harlesden conveyancer . Most Harlesden law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Me and my partner are about to complete on the purchase of a property in Harlesden but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the seller in the sum of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Coventry BS are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Your conveyancer that is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Coventry BS of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to disclose the price change to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Harlesden.
When will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Harlesden and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Harlesden you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Harlesden)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Harlesden ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks will not give a mortgage on this type of property.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Harlesden and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to affords security of tenure to commercial tenants, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
