I am buying a house without a mortgage in Cheetham Hill. I have resided for the last Seventeen years in Cheetham Hill. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Cheetham Hill conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it will be of interest to your future buyer what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where houses with apparent issues can still reveal negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Cheetham Hill will provide you some helpful advice in this regard.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Cheetham Hill I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cheetham Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Do I need to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm rather than a local Cheetham Hill conveyancing practice?

As with many professional services, often input from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest solicitors to instruct. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers have an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.

I've found a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing. I have just discovered that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns purchasing a leasehold house in Cheetham Hill. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Cheetham Hill are freehold rather than leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process.

The lease will likely included provisions such as obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to carry out changes to the property.

I am the registered owner of a split level flat in Cheetham Hill, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Cheetham Hill with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2083

My property lawyer in Cheetham Hill has requested from me identification documents saying that this forms part of his requirements as a conveyancer on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. Can you confirm whether this is the case?

Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the mortgage company. This is not specific to conveyancing in Cheetham Hill
