We are soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Haslingden but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of three thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Clydesdale will not permit this. Why were they informed?
Your solicitor being on the Clydesdale approved list is required to disclose to Clydesdale of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the price change to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Haslingden.
Can I use your services to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Haslingden even where I’m not buying or selling a house, for example if I wish to acquire an office in Haslingden with a loan from Bank of Scotland?

My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Haslingden and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Haslingden lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Haslingden. We have lived in Haslingden for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Haslingden. 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 conveyancing.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Haslingden
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Haslingden I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Haslingden for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Haslingden?
Conveyancing - in Haslingden or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects before you complete your move.
