Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Newton Heath

I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my rented property in Newton Heath by 13/6/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?

The normal practice is not to serve notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they cajole the owners lawyers, try to an agreed time frame that all parties will aim towards

I purchased a freehold house in Newton Heath but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Newton Heath and has limited impact for conveyancing in Newton Heath but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a newly converted flat in Newton Heath with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society.We use our Newton Heath conveyancing lawyer but Nationwide Building Society says his firm is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Nationwide Building Society panel firm or retain our local solicitor and pay for a Nationwide Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Nationwide Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Nationwide Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society

We are downsizing from our home in Newton Heath and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Newton Heath lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Newton Heath. We have lived in Newton Heath for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? 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)

How does conveyancing in Newton Heath differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Newton Heath approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Newton Heath usually purchase the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Newton Heath or who has acted in the same development.

My father-in-law has suggested that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Newton Heath. Do I follow his guidance?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Newton Heath conveyancing lawyer the best way to find a conveyancing solicitor is to have recommendations from friends or family who have experience in using the firm that you are are thinking of instructing.
