At what point will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Beadnell and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Beadnell you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Beadnell)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My house in Beadnell is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does the conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Beadnell solicitor on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Barclays 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 Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, 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 Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Beadnell is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Beadnell are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Beadnell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Beadnell may decide 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 property.
Me and my husband have agreed a price on a Beadnell ground floor flat we inherited six years ago in 2012. I have over 12 years conveyancing know-how and, although retired, wish to carry out my own conveyancing. The purchaser's conveyancing practitioner has informed me that their Lenders will not allow us to do our own conveyancing requiring the funds to be transferred to a solicitor's bank account.
Lending requirements to lawyers from all CML members specify that If the seller is not legally represented the borrower's lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be informed so that a decision can be made as to whether they are prepared to progress.
