County Durham is a county located in the north of England and its coastline is on the North Sea. Its county town is Durham which is a historic city and is host to the beautiful Durham Castle. The county is perhaps most famously known for Durham Cathedral, otherwise known as The Cathedral Church of Christ, Blessed Mary the Virgin and St Cuthbert of Durham, first opened in 1018, as well as the collegiate Durham University that was first established in 1832. The county's major population centres include Darlington, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees. Surrounding counties are Tyne and Wear and Northumberland to the north, Cumbria to the west and North Yorkshire to the south.
The unitary authority for the majority of County Durham is Durham County Council, however Darlington, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees have their own unitary authorities.
County Durham contains many national parks like the North Pennines, Hamsterley Forest and the High Force Waterfall. North Pennines is a section of the Pennines famous for mining and birdwatching.
The only motorway in the county is the A1(M) but there are many dual carriageways with the main ones being the A68 and the A688.

What are the conveyancing costs?
The solicitors' fees for handling your conveyance vary dramatically depending on whether you approach an online conveyancing solicitor, a high street conveyancer or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed as they are set including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
It is important to make sure when budgeting the costs of moving home that you factor in all of the above conveyancing costs and ensure you get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from your chosen local solicitors or licensed conveyancer.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.

Which Property Searches Do You Need?
If you're buying a property in Bishop Auckland using a mortgage, when your four main searches are returned, they may recommend that you additionally book a DevAssess Report.
The DevAssess report is a bespoke report providing a professional opinion about the risk of development within a 75m radius of the property. This search is suitable for both residential and small commercial properties under 0.25 acres.
The report 'looks to the future' in that it identifies areas or sites nearby which may, at a later point, be of interest to a developer but for which planning applications have not yet been submitted.
The professional opinion also considers whether you should undertake any future searches which may reveal covenant control on adjoining land.
