As a novice what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Partington?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Partington or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and even potentially the lender. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Partington should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.

There is a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer ahead of all other players in the home moving process.

My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Partington. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal investigations on the property include investigations to ascertain if these works are prohibited?

Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Partington will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or require the consent of another owner. Some works require local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Partington bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Partington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

As long as the conveyancer is on the bank approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Partington. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Partington

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

My nephew is just in the process of moving home, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. After the offer was accepted on house we telephoned the mortgage institution to progress the mortgage application. We were disappointed to hear that mortgage lenders do not accept all property lawyer, they have to be on a list, is this correct?

Banks tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Partington lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
