I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Middlesbrough?
You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank to explore if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Middlesbrough.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Middlesbrough. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Given that you are now to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to find a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are facing a pending a drop dead date to complete the conveyancing. All auction property will have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

Intending to buy a apartment in Middlesbrough. 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 Coventry BS 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 Middlesbrough solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I have a terraced Victorian house in Middlesbrough. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Middlesbrough and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Middlesbrough ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to give a mortgage on this type of premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can investigate further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Middlesbrough. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Middlesbrough to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
