We decided to go with a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Morpeth recently. Reviewing the Terms I notewe are on the hook for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or select an internet firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Morpeth?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset the cases that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these offerings rarely protect you from expenses such your Morpeth conveyancing search expenses.

Please help. My Morpeth lawyer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toconduct Morpeth conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have a choice here?

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Morpeth conveyancing searches.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Morpeth. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Morpeth?

On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Morpeth. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I have been advised by my conveyancer that restrictive coveneant insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Morpeth?

The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Skipton are being difficult. The Morpeth solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Morpeth I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Morpeth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Morpeth and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Morpeth. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Morpeth area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
