I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Cheetham. The vast majority the properties are already sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Cheetham?
A big part of the Cheetham legal transfer of property is the conveyancing searches. There are numerous search providers conducting Cheetham conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are generally termed personal search providers due to them carrying out, personal searches. Nevertheless, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must obtain their information from the local authoritative source.

We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Aldermore as we want to carry out alterations to our home in Cheetham. Do we need to appoint a local Cheetham solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Aldermore do not ordinarily require a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore panel.
I have a semi-detached Edwardian house in Cheetham. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Bank of Ireland to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Cheetham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
Is it best to go with a Cheetham conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can conduct the conveyancing however they are based a couple of hundredmiles away.
The primary upside of using a local Cheetham conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign documents, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Cheetham know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and in the main were happy that should trump using an unknown Cheetham conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
I am intending to sublet my leasehold flat in Cheetham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
A small minority of properties in Cheetham do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Cheetham, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Cheetham with a long lease are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2101
With just 77 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
