You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Tynemouth and elsewhere in Tyne And Wear is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction.

How does conveyancing in Tynemouth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Tynemouth come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Tynemouth typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Tynemouth or who has acted in the same development.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Tynemouth and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to business leaseholders, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease.

Our conveyancer in Tynemouth has requested from me proof of ID documents stating that this forms part of his retainer as a conveyancer on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. Can you confirm whether this is the case?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not unique to conveyancing in Tynemouth
