As someone with no idea as to the Greater Manchester conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Greater Manchester

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Greater Manchester or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially a lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Greater Manchester should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. You should always trust your conveyancer ahead of the other players in the home moving process.

My husband and I wish to acquire a newbuild apartment in Greater Manchester with a homeloan from HSBC Bank.We have a Greater Manchester conveyancing solicitor but HSBC Bank says he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a HSBC Bank panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the HSBC Bank conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank

I was told today I was advised that the vendor must send the insurance paperwork for the flat above in addition. Why does my property lawyer want to check the insurance for the other flat? Is it really necessary? We have been waiting for the last month…

It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Greater Manchester to find Conveyancing in Greater Manchester in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the complete property - which is definitely better. You should clarify with your lawyer but it would seem that your conveyancer is seeking to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring a ground floor flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt as a result of lack of insurance cover.
