Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Tufnell Park who conducted the legals two years ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from TSB. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I hunt for an alternative property lawyer?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you you were to look around you could reduce the fees slightly by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, if you were content with the service the firm gave you couldlive to regret choosing an an unknown solicitor. Remember to ensure that the conveyancer can represent TSB.

I am acquiring a newly built apartment in Tufnell Park and my lawyer is informing me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and I don't want to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I am the sole recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Tufnell Park. The Tufnell Park property was put into my name in May. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this requirement chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
is it true that all Tufnell Park conveyancing solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Tufnell Park. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Tufnell Park conveyancer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
