It may have been a long time coming a mortgage agreement from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 3 room garden flat is expected by the end of next week. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing law firm in Shildon?

My husband and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Shildon with a residential mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank.We like our Shildon conveyancing practitioner but Lloyds TSB Bank informed us she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Lloyds TSB Bank panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Lloyds TSB Bank panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Lloyds TSB Bank use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds TSB Bank
My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Shildon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Shildon conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Shildon. We have lived in Shildon for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Me and my brother purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Shildon. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Halifax. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should 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 Shildon and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I am buying a flat with all finances in place. My conveyancer has been supplied with with 2 distinct evidence of photo identification, bank statement, endless utility bills. Now he requires a copy from a probate lawyer acknowledging that the funds are in place and that it has come from inheritance and not dealing E's in Ibiza.
In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Shildon conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Evidence of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering laws.
