we are a couple who are buying a newbuild apartment in Lea Bridge with a homeloan from Barclays .We like our Lea Bridge conveyancing lawyer but Barclays says she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Barclays panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Barclays panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Barclays solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Lea Bridge with the purpose of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lea Bridge can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ representatives. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a duplicate share certificate is often a time consuming process and delays many a Lea Bridge conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share certificate is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unresolved. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing.

It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.
