My wife and I are purchasing a house in Moston. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
My father advised me that in buying a property in Moston there could be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external alterations to the property. Is this right?
There are a number of properties in Moston which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Moston should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I am aiming to move home in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Moston. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent however this should only occur after the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. After that you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Moston or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Moston.
How does conveyancing in Moston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Moston contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Moston typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Moston or who has acted in the same development.
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 quick, chain free conveyancing. Moston is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 Moston both have about fifty years left on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Moston. The lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame.

Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type.
