We are due to move home in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Denton. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent however this should only be done after the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Denton or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Denton.
My lawyer has informed me that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Denton conveyancing?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as HSBC, do Denton property lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Denton is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Denton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Denton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Denton may ascertain 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 premises.

I am attracted to a couple of flats in Denton both have approximately forty five years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Denton. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
I invested in buying a 1st floor flat in Denton, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2003. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Denton with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2092
With 67 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
I own a leasehold flat in Denton. Conveyancing was completed in last year. I have read on various consumer forums that I should not let the the remaining lease term to fall too low. Why is that a problem?
Denton residential long term leases are for a prescribed period - usually just under one hundred years when they commenced. However a significant appartments in Denton were constructed or converted 30 or more years ago and so such leases now have under eighty years remaining. That may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally need leases to have a minimum of 75 years unexpired to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching 75 years. To increase your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are advantages to taking action before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
