Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Tottenham Green is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Tottenham Green conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Tottenham Green and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Tottenham Green you are welcome to attend to sign contracts.

The signing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham Green)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Tottenham Green I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tottenham Green for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
