I was told yesterday by my lender that my Haringey the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Haringey lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Haringey lawyers face a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Is there a list of Clydesdale panel solicitors in Haringey on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

When it comes to conveyancing in Haringey seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Haringey took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am downsizing from my property. My former conveyancers has retired. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Haringey if that makes things easier.

I work for a busy estate agent office in Haringey where we see a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Haringey conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
Having spent months of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Haringey. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
if there is a absentee freeholder or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the LVT to assess the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Haringey property is 16 Langham Close in June 2009. The Tribunal determined that the premium to be paid by the Applicant to the Respondent for the grant of a new lease was £45,672. This case related to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 25.4 years.
