I am buying a property without a mortgage in Tintagel. I have resided for the previous dozen years in Tintagel. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then almost all of the Tintagel conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . One thing to take into account; if you are going to sell the house one day, it may be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where properties with apparent issues can still reveal unfavourable search results.

My house in Tintagel is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my property lawyer have to be required to be on the TSB conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the TSB conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.
We had instructed solicitors with offices in Tintagel on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional sum for dealing with the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Barclays but by your Tintagel conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Barclays panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Tintagel. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Not long after, the lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Tintagel on 7/11/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to TSB and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Are TSB entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Tintagel concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
