You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Hebburn and elsewhere in Tyne And Wear is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For instance, the vendor, property agent and on occasion a bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Hebburn is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

We expect to receive a AIP from Santander 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).

You will need to appoint Hebburn solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Hebburn building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend.

Your solicitor has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Hebburn for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
