If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Chorlton cum Hardy what would it be?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Chorlton cum Hardy conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Santander as we intend to carry out renovations to our house in Chorlton cum Hardy. Are we obliged to choose a high street Chorlton cum Hardy solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Santander don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander panel.
Our offer on a property in Chorlton cum Hardy has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Chorlton cum Hardy. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Chorlton cum Hardy conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the HSBC approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Chorlton cum Hardy.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Chorlton cum Hardy 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to prove you are the owner of your registered land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Chorlton cum Hardy is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Chorlton cum Hardy are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Chorlton cum Hardy you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chorlton cum Hardy may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Me and my fiance are soon to exchange on the purchase a house in Chorlton cum Hardy but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the vendor of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the lender will not permit this. Why were they approached?
Any conveyancer being on the bank approved list is duty bound to advise the mortgage company of any amendments to the purchase amount. In the event that you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the price change to your mortgage company then they would have no choice but to discontinue acting for you and the bank.
