I am due to move home in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Cheadle Hulme. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only happen once the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. After that you can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Cheadle Hulme or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Cheadle Hulme.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Cheadle Hulme on 25/9/2025, valuation was booked 2 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Are Co-operative entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have instructed a Cheadle Hulme property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Cheadle Hulme surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Cheadle Hulme I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Cheadle Hulme in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
My father has suggested that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Cheadle Hulme. Do I follow his advice?
No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to have feedback from friends or relatives who have experience in using the solicitor you're contemplating using.
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mum’s Will, with a bungalow in Cheadle Hulme which is to be marketed. The house has never been registered at HMLR and I'm told that many buyers solicitors will insist that it is done before they'll proceed. What's the mechanism for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems prudent to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
