My previous solicitor has quoted £1350 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Wallsend. I’m hoping to downsize from a newly refurbished house for £250,000. This seems over the top. Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Wallsend?
The charges are a tad high. If you are prepared to expend time scrutinising prices you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds.

We previously instructed solicitors based in Wallsend on the Principality solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate sum for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Principality but by your Wallsend lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Skipton as we wish to carry out improvements to our home in Wallsend. Are we obliged to choose a local Wallsend solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Skipton would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton panel.
I acquired my home on 2 March and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Wallsend advises it should be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Wallsend particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Wallsend registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property thus registration formalities is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm buying my first flat in Wallsend with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
