I am expecting a DIP from Barclays this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Harlow solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Harlow solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
My sealed bid on a property in Harlow has been accepted, the owners do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Harlow. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Harlow conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.
I bought my flat on 5 June and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Harlow said it will be formalised inside ten days. Are titles in Harlow uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Harlow registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

We are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Harlow. I am am extremely dissatisfied with the quality of service. Can you help me find new conveyancers?
A solicitor would have to be very poor to suggest changing them. Has the loan offer been issued? If so you need to advise them of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating costs and frustration. So that should be your starting point.

Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in Harlow. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Harlow who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Harlow conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
