Is the fact that my solicitor in Tynemouth is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Tynemouth conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Me and my partner are buying a property in Tynemouth. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we will need to send our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
My conveyancer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Tynemouth?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
Can you point me to a directory of TSB panel conveyancers in Tynemouth on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings visible on the web. Where you are looking for a Tynemouth lawyer on the TSB please make the most of our tool.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Tynemouth I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tynemouth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
