Recently asked questions about conveyancing in North Shields

I am acquiring a house mortgage free in North Shields. I have resided for the previous dozen years in North Shields. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the North Shields conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it may be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches disclose. On occasion properties with day to day issues can still show up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in North Shields will be able to give you some helpful guidance in this regard.

About to purchase a new build apartment in North Shields. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I was advised by numerous estate agents in North Shields to select a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t offer any commission for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in North Shields

It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred North Shields conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

Why do I have to supply my lawyer with various items of ID before they can commence with selling or buying a property in North Shields?

North Shields property lawyers are required by the Law Society, Solicitors Regulation Authority, HM Land Registry and current AML Regulations to record that the have verified the identity of their clients. It will also be a condition of your bank where you are obtaining a mortgage. In addition they have to complete various forms, particularly those relating to Land Tax and need to have information such as your full names, national insurance number and date of birth.
