When will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Littleborough and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Littleborough you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Littleborough is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Littleborough are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Littleborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Littleborough may decide 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 premises.
Should I be suspicious that third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Littleborough conveyancing company?
As is the case with many service providers, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend lawyers to retain. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your own lawyer. You need to be aware that some banks specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Littleborough. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Littleborough - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

My husband and I hope to purchase our 1st home in Littleborough. Conveyancing practitioner has been instructed. The financial consultant suggested that a survey is not appropriate as the property was only built in 1997.
As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property is over ten years old the property will be without a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may suffice. They will highlight any obvious problems and suggest further investigation where relevant. Where there are any signs of material issues get a full structural survey.
