In the event thatI were to buy a simple residential housein North Shields for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in North Shields?
Any savings you would achieve would be isolated to the costs for searches. A lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.

Is it the case that all North Shields conveyancing solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a North Shields property lawyer on the HSBC panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your HSBC 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 HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, 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 HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in North Shields I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in North Shields for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
