There is nothing unique about conveyancing in New Barnet registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on a garden flat in New Barnet I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer about myhome move ahead of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in New Barnet
It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted New Barnet conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
I am short of a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in New Barnet , but I still want to exchange. What can I do?
One option is to try and agree a lower deposit. Most vendors will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
