As someone clueless as to conveyancing in Newton Heath what is your top tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Newton Heath
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Newton Heath or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, property agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Newton Heath should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that you should follow their advice. For example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Back In 2001, I bought a leasehold flat in Newton Heath. Conveyancing and Nationwide Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Newton Heath who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
