I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Prestbury. Almost all the appartments are already disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Prestbury?
Where you are obtaining a loan, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Prestbury 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 is duty bound in this regard. 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 you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Prestbury.
We had chosen conveyancers based in Prestbury on the TSB solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional sum for dealing with the TSB mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by TSB?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by TSB but by your Prestbury property lawyer. Some firms on the TSB panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am buying a property in Prestbury. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Prestbury.
We were going to get a AIP from UBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Prestbury solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Prestbury solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Prestbury 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor should be aware precisely where to locate all the suitable paperwork so you can purchase or dispose of your property without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on the premises.

I am buying a garden flat in Prestbury. Conveyancing solicitor is awaiting, from the seller, building insurance paperwork. This morning I was informed that the vendor needs to send the insurance documents for the flat above as well. Why does my lawyer need to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been stalled for the last month…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Prestbury to discover Conveyancing in Prestbury in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the whole premises - which is definitely preferable. You should clarify with your conveyancer but it would appear that your lawyer is seeking to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring your apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated for lack of insurance.
