Most conveyancing panel lawyers for mortgage companies carry out the vast majority of communications via the post, e-mail or over the phone.

We previously instructed solicitors located in Muswell Hill on the Barclays solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Barclays but by your Muswell Hill conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Barclays panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Coventry BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I am purchasing a new build house in Muswell Hill with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I own a leasehold house in Muswell Hill. Conveyancing and Santander 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 Muswell Hill who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Muswell Hill conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
