I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Leeds Building Society, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?

Given you intend to re-mortgage then Leeds Building Society will require that you use a conveyancer on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

How does conveyancing in North London differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in North London come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in North London typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in North London or who has acted in the same development.

Am I better off to go with a North London conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am buying? We have a good friend who can perform the legal formalities but her office is 400kilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a local North London conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local North London know how is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were happy that should outweigh using an unknown North London conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being North London based.
