Resist the temptation to appoint companies offering £100 conveyancing in Sunderland. In your best case scenario, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you with a surprising uplift in extras and still not end up with the service you were looking for.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Santander Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Sunderland?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Sunderland?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Sunderland. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Given that I will soon spend over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Sunderland I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thehouse move prior to instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer who will be conducting your conveyancing in Sunderland.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a file reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Sunderland should be the figure that you are charged.
