I am buying a house without a mortgage in Tintagel. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Tintagel. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Tintagel conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of guidance. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it could be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. On occasion properties with day to day issues can still show up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Tintagel will provide you some practical guidance in this regard.
We are planning to acquire a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Tintagel who is on the RBS approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

I am considering applying for a Co-operative mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Tintagel with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Co-operative ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, but Co-operative would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Tintagel. The Tintagel property was put into my name in February. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation is principally there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
When it comes to lenders such as RBS, do Tintagel lawyers incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
We had chosen solicitors based in Tintagel on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Coventry BS but by your Tintagel conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
