I am selling my house in Trimdon. Will the solicitor need to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale 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 requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Trimdon
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Trimdon conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Please help - my lawyer advises that absentee landlord insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Trimdon conveyancing?

When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Trimdon conveyancers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Trimdon 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be recorded by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your house and order up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
Last February I purchased a leasehold house in Trimdon. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I own a split level flat in Trimdon, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2001. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable flats in Trimdon with a long lease are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2095

Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
