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.

Bishop Auckland Conveyancing Solicitor fees dramatically vary 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.
How often should you communicate with your solicitor?
It's a given that conveyancing mainly centres on communications conducted between different solicitor firms acting for both buyer and seller and that you won't need to be in constant communication with your solicitor, who should contact you if there is pressing need.
That said, you should definitely communicate with your solicitor if something particular is worrying you. Your property searches will show up planning applications lodged within the boundaries of the property you're buying but let's say for example you've your heart set on a view of an open field at the back of the property. You should, in this situation, tell your solicitor to carry out searches against the field to check if there might be plans to build new houses there.
