My best friend’s mother is a solicitor. I suspect that I'll be able to get mate’s fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Redruth?

We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from TSB as we intend to conduct improvements to our house in Redruth. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Redruth solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
TSB would not normally appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB conveyancing panel.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Redruth conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland conducted the valuation? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Intending to buy a apartment in Redruth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Redruth lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Redruth?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Redruth.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Redruth I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Redruth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

We are midway through buying a residence in Redruth. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Does this impact the marketability of the house?
Redruth conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the saleability too much.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a adverse impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your lawyer.
