I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Should I go for for an online conveyancer or a high street Leamouth conveyancing lawyer?
Established third party connections is an important consideration when appointing conveyancing lawyers.

Hosting years of insight into the local area also helps too.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Leamouth? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you are unwilling to hand over identification documents, your lawyer will not be able to take you on as a client.

My mum and dad cant seem to find their Leamouth property on the HMLR online search facility. They have a vague recollection 48 years ago when they acquired the property there were complications concerning Leamouth not being recognised in some systems.
Nearly all residences in Leamouth should show up. Have you limited your search with just the postcode. Ordinarily it should disclose all the residences inside the postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which may be with your parent’s mortgage company.
