I decided to go with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in St Annes last week. Upon checking the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am liable for charges even if the movefalls through.

I am purchasing a property for cash in St Annes. I have been living for the last dozen years in St Annes. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the St Annes conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to take that path of guidance.

I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a local conveyancing solicitor in St Annes?
You should check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank to explore if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near St Annes.

About to purchase maisonette in St Annes. 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 St Annes solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in St Annes I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in St Annes suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
Should one as executor remove a deceased person's name from the title deeds for a house in St Annes?
If a St Annes property is jointly owned and one of the owners passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a sale you would simply be required to supply proof why the joint proprietor is not included in the transfer, usually this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing more straight forward in the future you may apply to have the deceased person erased from the title entries by applying to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
