IfI were to purchase a straightforward propertyin Fallowfield for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Fallowfield?
The only saving you would achieve is the costs for searches. Your solicitor is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers lawyer, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge however it won't be a lot.

I am buying a victorian detached house in Fallowfield. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Fallowfield can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain works or need the consent of a 3rd party. Many extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Fallowfield property lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Intending to buy a flat in Fallowfield. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Fallowfield conveyancing practitioner is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
