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?
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.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.

Do you need to have a survey?
When you buy a property with a mortgage, you have to book and pay for your lender's mortgage valuation (click to find out more). This is:
- Not the same as a RICS Home Buyers Survey
- Done on behalf of the lender, not you, and is about ensuring the property value is in keeping with your proposed mortgage sum
- Only cursory about checking for defects.
We advise every home buyer to get a RICS home buyers survey when they're looking to buy a property. When you're thinking of committing to spending what is normally at least hundreds of £1,000s on a property, it surely makes sense to have it checked for potential defects by an expert who is purely working for your best interests.
If your surveyor has suspicions of defects such as subsidence, they note them in a report and this can be used to bargain with the vendor for contributions towards remedy which may mean a lower selling price or you may even decide to pull out entirely.
Additionally, if your surveyor fails to spot a defect which subsequently becomes apparent and costly to remedy, they are answerable to claims and all carry indemnity insurance covering the full value of the property in question.
