It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Bury. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be archived with the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Bury relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
Can you point me to a directory of Skipton panel conveyancers in Bury on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings viewable on the web. If you are in need of a Bury lawyer on the Skipton please make the most of our facility.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Bury. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
HSBC have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Bury has been accepted, what happens next?
The property agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up HSBC or the broker and finish off any relevant forms. HSBC will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange a slot for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. HSBC will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Bury.
How does conveyancing in Bury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bury contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Bury typically buy the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bury or who has acted in the same development.

My step-mother completed her conveyancing in Bury 7 years past. She has got married, widowed and in recent months got remarried. She now wishes to dispose of the Bury property. I believe she will just be asked to supply copies of the marriage papers to the conveyancer but she is concerned it will delay the sale of the house. Is it worth updating the Land Registry information for the house?
You are not required to bring up to date the register providing you have the evidence needed to demonstrate how the change of name resulted.
Any buyer’s property lawyer will check the land registry details and need evidence by way of proof of the change of name for instance marriage documentation.
