IfI were to acquire a simple residential housein Cullercoats for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Cullercoats?
Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the Cullercoats conveyancing searches. A lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the sellers solicitor, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it won't be meaningful.
It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Cullercoats. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they may stored with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Cullercoats relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
I am assisting my aunt sell her flat in Cullercoats. Does the solicitor commission an energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments remained a mandatory component of moving house. An energy assessment must be commissioned prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Cullercoats conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established local energy assessors

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Cullercoats is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Cullercoats. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read 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 Cullercoats 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 buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
