Me and my partner are acquiring a leasehold flat in Partington. My lawyer is not listed on the bank solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to appoint my Partington conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
Your options include
- Carry on with your existing Partington lawyer but your lender will no doubt instruct a solicitor on their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional charges together with potential interruption.
- Appoint a fresh conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancer to attempt to join the lender panel
I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years built) in Partington. The vast majority the flats have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Partington?
If you getting a loan, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Partington conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Partington.
As a novice what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Partington?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Partington and elsewhere in Greater Manchester is often a confrontational experience. In other words, 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 on occasion the lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Partington should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I purchased my flat on 12 March and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Partington said it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Partington uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Partington registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Partington conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Nottingham approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Nottingham and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to press on with searches.
