I am purchasing a house for cash in Cheetham. I have been living for the previous 15 years in Cheetham. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Cheetham conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it will be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where houses with functional issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Cheetham should provide you some sensible advice concerning this.
We are buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Cheetham who is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

I'm in the process of viewing houses in Cheetham and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
The mortgage over my property is with Lloyds for my property in Cheetham. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Lloyds?
Lloyds must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Cheetham agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Cheetham. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Cheetham conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Clydesdale approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Cheetham.
Is it necessary to pay for insurance to protect me from financial exposure to chancel repairs when acquiring a residence in Cheetham?
Unless a prior acquisition of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Cheetham to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I'm buying my first flat in Cheetham benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
