I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a New Brighton conveyancer on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your TSB 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 TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take.

- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
My offer on a property in New Brighton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in New Brighton.

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, New Brighton conveyancing search costs, etc).

How does conveyancing in New Brighton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in New Brighton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in New Brighton usually acquire the land, 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 property lawyers 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.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in New Brighton?
Conveyancing - in New Brighton or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to remedy the problems prior to you move in.
