The loan agreement from HSBC for the remortgage of my 3 room maisonette is coming within the next few days. Can you recommend a low cost conveyancing law firm in Childwall?

You have come to the wrong site to search for a cheap conveyancing in Childwall. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers.

I am planning to move home in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Childwall. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent but this should only occur after the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Childwall or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Childwall.

We expect to receive a OIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

About to purchase a new build apartment in Childwall. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Childwall

    Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Childwall in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you call us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Childwall. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Childwall to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

My father-in-law has suggested that I instruct his conveyancers in Childwall. Should I choose my own property lawyer?

No doubt it’s preferable to find a conveyancing solicitor is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.

I own a leasehold flat in Childwall. Conveyancing was finished in 2011. I have heard that I should not allow the lease length get too short. What is the reasoning?

Childwall leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - normally ninety nine years when they started. However many flats in Childwall were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have under eighty years unexpired. This may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching seventy five years. To optimize the saleability of your property you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
