Local issues considered by Washington Conveyancing Solicitors:

Searches

If your are buying a property in Washington your lawyer must commission Official Local Authority Searches (Con 29 enquiries, LLC1 and Con29 Part 2). The Local Authority for Washington is Sunderland City Council, Civic Centre, Burdon Road, Sunderland, SR2 7DN. Tel: 01915 205 555 or out of hours emergencies on: 01803 867 034

Road and Rail Construction

Washington property purchasers require information about matters affecting local highways, such as planned extension of parking restrictions or proposals for one-way schemes. During the conveyancing process, a property lawyer will investigatedevelopment nearby (closer than 200m) of roads and railway lines. If a search shows that a property is affected, it will be necessary for the buyers Conveyancing Solicitor to contact the relevant highway authority for more details.

Tree Preservation Orders

Trees in Washington subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) may not be cut down, uprooted or lopped without consent from the local council, and causing wilful damage or destruction of a protected tree is a criminal offence. The existence of any planning conditions, originally imposed on the developers of a Washington property, will be revealed in a local search. Conditions placed on developers requiring them to plant trees during construction do not necessarily imply a TPO is in place.

Issues to consider when your lawyer is not on your Lender's panel

Lenders maintain panels of law firms to perform mortgage legal work. While these panels were once open, allowing any firm to join, that is no longer the case. More recently, lenders have begun to remove firms which have either not completed many conveyancing transactions or have failed to meet other criteria. If your lender does not accept your chosen solicitor, you must make a decision as to how to proceed; you can either select a different lender or solicitor. It is possible to continue with your original choices, but your lender will expect you to pay for the legal costs relating to the mortgage. Bear in mind that it is usually more efficient and less expensive for the same firm act for you and your lender. If you instruct a different firm who is on your lender's panel, be aware that their quality and speed of service, along with the cost, may be quite different to that of your first choice. Before instructing another law firm, do your research as you would were they your first choice.
