As someone with no idea as to the Tyne And Wear conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Tyne And Wear

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Tyne And Wear or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, property agent and sometimes the bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Tyne And Wear should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor ahead of all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of delay in Tyne And Wear house deals. Is this right?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Tyne And Wear is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Tyne And Wear are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tyne And Wear you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tyne And Wear may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Tyne And Wear

It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Tyne And Wear conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Tyne And Wear. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Tyne And Wear - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
