Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bolton

We are planning to acquire a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Bolton who is on the TSB solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for TSB . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Bolton.

We are downsizing from our property in Bolton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bolton. Having lived in Bolton for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

How does conveyancing in Bolton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Bolton contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Bolton typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bolton or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Bolton ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bolton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Bolton to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I have been sourcing a conveyancing solicitor in Bolton for my home move. Is it possible to see a solicitor's complaints history with the legal regulator?

You may search for presented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) decisions stemming from inquisitions from 2008 onwards. Go to Check a solicitor's record. For information about the period before 1 January 2008, or to check a solicitors record, telephone 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 any week day save for Tuesday when lines open at 9.30am. International callers, dial +44 (0)121 329 6800. The regulator may monitor telephone calls for training reasons.

We are soon to complete on the purchase a property in Bolton but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the current proprietors of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however the lender will not permit this. Why were they notified?

Any lawyer being on a mortgage company conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to the bank of any changes to the sale price. If you did not allow your solicitor to report the reduction to your bank then they would need to refrain from representing you and the bank.
