IfI was to acquire a freehold housein Openshaw mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Openshaw?
The only reduction in fees you would achieve is the Openshaw conveyancing searches. Your solicitor still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the vendors solicitor, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it will not be significant.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Openshaw?
If you are buying a property in Openshaw your lawyer will ask you put them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the purchase price then this will be asked for shortly ahead of exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is due should be transferred a couple of days ahead of the completion date.
How do I check that the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Openshaw is on the lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Barclays thus paying £175.00 in further conveyancing costs.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Openshaw is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Openshaw are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Openshaw you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Openshaw may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 residence.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Openshaw. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Openshaw - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
