IfI were to buy a simple residential homein Saltdean for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Saltdean?
The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the disbursement for searches. A conveyancing practitioner is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the sellers property lawyer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it won't be a lot.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Saltdean. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. Could you help?
The first thing to do is call your conveyancer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can get in touch with The Royal Bank of Scotland who may be able to help.
When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Saltdean conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

How can we tell if a Saltdean conveyancing solicitor on the Leeds Building Society panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Saltdean seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.
My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Aldermore as we intend to conduct improvements to our home in Saltdean. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Saltdean solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Aldermore don't usually appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Saltdean differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Saltdean contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Saltdean tend to acquire the site, 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 conveyancers 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. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Saltdean or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Saltdean is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Saltdean are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Saltdean you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Saltdean may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
