I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years old) in Port Clarence. Almost all the flats are already occupied. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Port Clarence?
Where you are obtaining a loan, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Port Clarence conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Port Clarence.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Port Clarence. I I would like to check whether they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should contact the conveyancer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should get in touch with Barclays who may be able to help.

My wife and I have a renovated Edwardian property in Port Clarence. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and The Mortgage Works. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Port Clarence and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
My uncle has encouraged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Port Clarence. Do I follow his recommendation?

I am about to exchange on the purchase a house in Port Clarence but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the vendor of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the bank will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
The conveyancer listed on the mortgage company approved list is duty bound to advise the bank of any variations to the sale figure. In the event that you were to refuse your property lawyer to disclose the reduction to your mortgage company then they would have to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
