We are due to move property in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Staindrop. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the property agent however this can only happen after the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Staindrop or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Staindrop.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Barclays as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Staindrop. Do we need to select a high street Staindrop solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Barclays don't usually 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 Barclays list.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Staindrop conveyancer on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
My colleague advised me that if I am purchasing in Staindrop I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Staindrop Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Staindrop Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Staindrop.
How does conveyancing in Staindrop differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Staindrop contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Staindrop typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Staindrop or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Staindrop before appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a loan on a flying freehold premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements from Nationwide. If you contact us we can check via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Staindrop. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Staindrop to select a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site over a competitor’s?
We don’t offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
