I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Seven Sisters. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We were just about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Seven Sisters. We encountered a problem. The loan offer with Lloyds TSB Bank runs out on 13/3/2026 but the sellers are putting forward a completion date of 17/3/2026. Can one prolong the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to deal with your question is your lawyer who will assess whether he or she is corresponding with the lender, seller’s lawyers, estate agents or conceivably all parties given the circumstances your conveyancing as of today.
My Conveyancer in Seven Sisters is not listed on the Barclays Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Barclays approved list?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Seven Sisters solicitors but Barclays will need to instruct a solicitor on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing charges as well as result in frustration.
- Choose an alternative lawyer to act in the purchase, remembering to check they are Convince your conveyancer to use their best endeavours to join the Barclays conveyancing panel
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Seven Sisters house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Seven Sisters.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Seven Sisters and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives security of tenure to commercial tenants, granting the a statutory right to apply to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in Seven Sisters
