AssumingI was to purchase a freehold propertyin Barnt Green for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Barnt Green?
The only saving you would make on is the costs for searches. Your conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your sellers lawyer, SDLT return, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it will not be significant.
My flat in Barnt Green is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does my property lawyer have to be required to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale 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.
