My partner and I are spending time looking at apartments in Mobberley and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer in place at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Principality.
It would be prudent to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Mobberley. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Mobberley is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Mobberley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly.

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.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Mobberley which have approximately forty five years remaining on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
