Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shiremoor

I am buying a house mortgage free in Shiremoor. I have been living for the previous 20 years in Shiremoor. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the Shiremoor conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this. Do consider; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of interest to your future buyer what the searches determine. Sometimes houses with functional issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Shiremoor should be able to give you some helpful guidance in this regard.

We note that you have a search directory identifying law firms on the Santander conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our conveyancing in Shiremoor?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Santander conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Shiremoor.

I am buying a property in Shiremoor. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Clydesdale your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Shiremoor.

I am expecting a AIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Shiremoor solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Shiremoor solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Shiremoor off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Lloyds. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Shiremoor?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Shiremoor. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Shiremoor

It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Shiremoor conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
