I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Heywood for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Heywood conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Heywood differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Heywood come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Heywood tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Heywood or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Heywood I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Heywood for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I need to switch lawyers as my Heywood lawyer is not on the mortgage company's panel of conveyancing solicitors. Is it advisable to appoint a new law firm?

If you haven't yet instructed a conveyancer to commence the conveyancing and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Heywood that you're considering.
