Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Littleborough

My partner and I are purchasing a newly constructed duplex in Littleborough and my conveyancer is informing me that she has to the lender to reveal incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to sign contracts and I have no desire to prolong matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I am selling our house in Littleborough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Littleborough lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Littleborough. Having lived in Littleborough for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Littleborough 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be recorded by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and obtain current copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Littleborough is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Littleborough are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Littleborough you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 property.

As co-executor for the estate of my uncle I am selling a house in Swansea but I am based in Littleborough. My lawyer (based 300 kilometers awayneeds me to sign a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Littleborough to witness this legal document for me?
