I have recentlyfound out that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Levenshulme for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

I'm buying my first flat in Levenshulme benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Levenshulme I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Levenshulme for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

We are in the middle of buying a property in Levenshulme. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the title is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on the salability of the house?

Levenshulme conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the saleability too much.

On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a significant effect on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your solicitor.
