Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mossley

My husband and I are hoping to acquire a home in Mossley and are in fact using a Mossley conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Skipton Building Society have this morning contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Mossley solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Mossley solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

My father has encouraged me to use his lawyers for conveyancing in Mossley. Do I follow his advice?

No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to get referrals from friends or relatives who have actually used the firm you're considering.

I've found a house that seems to meet my requirements, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing. I have just discovered that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Mossley. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Mossley ?

Most houses in Mossley are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Mossley so you should seriously consider looking for a Mossley conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to conduct alterations. You may also be required to pay a maintenance charge towards the maintenance of the estate where the house is part of an estate. Your lawyer should advise you fully on all the issues.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Mossley - A selection of Queries before Purchasing

    Does the lease have more than 82 years unexpired? What is the name of the managing agents? You should be aware that where the lease has less than eighty years it will impact the marketability of the apartment. Check with your lender that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth discovering what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the property for a couple of years before you are legally able to carry out a lease extension.
