We see that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Partington?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Partington.
I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a Partington based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that give you one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank and determine if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Partington.
What does a local search inform me concerning the house my wife and I purchasing in Partington?

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Partington. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Partington
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. 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.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Partington
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Partington conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
