My husband and I are in the throws of looking at apartments in North Harrow and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Nottingham.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Nottingham, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in North Harrow. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nationwide are being a right pain. The North Harrow solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in North Harrow and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street North Harrow conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in North Harrow.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. North Harrow is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in North Harrow are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside North Harrow you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
