Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Tynemouth. I would like to know the logic why all Tynemouth conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or lawyer’s perspective, the other side of the coin is that lenders are becoming ever more anxious and regard it essential to defend themselves against illegal activities. As a result of this concern lenders are limiting their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.
Do I need to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Tynemouth so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.
Whereas this was necessary ten years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the mortgagors signature. You will still be obliged to supply ID documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a local practitioner, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Tynemouth.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Tynemouth?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Tynemouth. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am a couple of weeks into a residential purchase having been recommend to conveyancers by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Tynemouth. I am not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
They would need to be very poor in order to consider changing them. Has your mortgage been issued? If so you need to make them aware of the new lawyer and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally should be on the banks approved list to avoid escalating charges and delays. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers.
