I am purchasing a ground floor flat in Hellesdon. My lawyer has never been on on the bank solicitor list. Am I still permitted to use my Hellesdon conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have a couple of options open to you here
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Hellesdon conveyancing practitioner but your lender will need to appoint a solicitor from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional fees together with potential interruption.
- Choose a new lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your property lawyer to seek to join the lender panel
In the event thatI were to acquire a simple residential housein Hellesdon for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Hellesdon?
The sole reduction in fees you would achieve is the Hellesdon conveyancing searches. Your conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your sellers conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage however it will not be a lot.
We had appointed solicitors with offices in Hellesdon on the TSB solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate sum for the legal aspects of the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by TSB?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by TSB but by your Hellesdon solicitor. Plenty of firms on the TSB panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
Can I be sure that the Hellesdon conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Hellesdon obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.
I am expecting a DIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Hellesdon solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Hellesdon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Hellesdon. I've land on a site which appears to be the ideal solution If it is possible to get all the legals completed via phone that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
My folks cant seem to find their Hellesdon land registry title on the website. They recall that fifty years ago when they purchased the bungalow there were complications concerning Hellesdon not being identified on some systems.
Nearly all residences in Hellesdon should show up. Have you attempted a search to just the postcode. Usually it should disclose all the properties within the postcode. Where registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
