We are selling our house in Gateshead. Does the conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the TSB conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the TSB conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

Gateshead Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should consider before Purchasing

    Most Gateshead leasehold properties will incur a service bill for the upkeep of the building levied by the management company. Where you acquire the property you will have to meet this charge, normally quarterly accross the year. This could be anything from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large communal grounds. There will also be a rentcharge to be met annual, normally this is not a exorbitant sum, say about £50-£100 but you need to enquire as on occasion it could be many hundreds of pounds. Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability?

My fiance and I have just had an offer agreed on a apartment and had an appointment on Friday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of lawyers then we will have to pay out an additional fee of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to instruct a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we appoint on our behalf and we are liable for their costs. I have requested Nationwide to send me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?

You should ask Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Another option is to utilise our search tool and we may be able to locate a conveyancing practitioner in Gateshead on the approved list for Nationwide.
