And since Lovelace had Jabor and Faquarl I don't think it occurred to him to use something like a scrying glass or an imp.... ^o)

Yeah, I think that's probably the best theory. Serious magicians don't bother messing around with piddly little imps. Waay below their level - doesn't even occur to them they can be useful.

"Take a look," I said. "Which house do you think has the thinnest walls?"
For a moment, he was uncomprehending. Then his eyes widened. "You're
not---"
"That one? With the pink shutters? Yes, maybe you're right. Well, let's see..."

Maybe it never occoured to Lovelace to use a scriying glass? And he did use those spheres to track Bartimaeus down to Underwood's house.
