Having sold my house in Littleborough last January but the buyer keeps calling me to say their solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your sale your solicitor should deliver the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Littleborough.
I am considering applying for a Leeds Building Society mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Littleborough with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Will our lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Littleborough.

The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect response. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also order an enviro report. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Littleborough is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
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 must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Littleborough 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 premises.
Am I right to be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Littleborough conveyancing firm?
As with lots of service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be most helpful. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend lawyers to select. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
