The mortgage agreement from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 3 room flat is coming imminently. Can you suggest a low cost conveyancing lawyer in St Luke's?
You are on the wrong site if you are in need of cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in St Luke's. We can offer you cost effective conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint brokers teasing you with ninety nine pound conveyancing in St Luke's. At best, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst you will end up spending a lot in additional fees and still not receive the service you were hoping for.
How up to date is your search tool for St Luke's conveyancing solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel? Do TSB send you an updated list?
St Luke's conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from TSB directly.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I was recommended by three or four local property agents in St Luke's to select a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers ahead of another?
We don’t make any referral fee for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I intend to buy our 1st house in St Luke's. Conveyancing lawyer already appointed. The mortgage adviser suggested that a survey is not necessary as the house was only built in 2002.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence was constructed over a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any apparent problems and suggest additional investigation if appropriate. Where there are any signs of problems seek a full structural survey.
