In the event thatI were to acquire a freehold housein Immingham mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Immingham?
Any savings you would achieve will be isolated to the costs for searches. Your lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it won't be a lot.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Co-operative Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Immingham?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Immingham?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Immingham. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I opted to have a survey done on a house in Immingham before instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to issue a loan on this type of property.

I previously told by my lender that their panel conveyancers work on no completion no fee basis for conveyancing in Immingham. I had a purchase abort yet the conveyancers want search fees! They are stating that the fees are independent!
Immingham conveyancing search charges are disbursements not legal costs as these are paid to independent parties.
