In the event thatI was to purchase a freehold housein Hebburn mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Hebburn?
The sole saving you would achieve is the disbursement for searches. Your conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your sellers lawyer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Hebburn what would it be?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Hebburn conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We are buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Hebburn. We would like to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property include enquiries to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Hebburn can occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of changes or need the consent of a 3rd party. Many extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
My fiancee and I are in the throws of looking at houses in Hebburn and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with Coventry BS.
It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Coventry BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Hebburn I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hebburn in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
