I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Heywood. 95% of the flats have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Heywood?
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Heywood conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Heywood.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Heywood is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Heywood are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Heywood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Heywood 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 property.
I have been recommended by a number of estate agents in Heywood to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
