In the event thatI were to acquire a freehold housein Tunstall for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Tunstall?
The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the costs for searches. A solicitor still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the vendors conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage however it won't be meaningful.
We see that you have a search directory identifying firms on the TSB conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Tunstall?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Tunstall.

How does conveyancing in Tunstall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tunstall approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Tunstall usually acquire the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Tunstall or who has acted in the same development.
