In the event thatI was to buy a freehold housein Rusholme for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Rusholme?

The only reduction in fees you would achieve is the disbursement for searches. Your property lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your sellers lawyer, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it will not be a lot.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Rusholme conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Rusholme postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Rusholme.

Will our solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Rusholme.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Rusholme. There are those who buy a house in Rusholme, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Rusholme. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to discover whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. The buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro report. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.

I have justdiscovered that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Rusholme for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Rusholme conveyancing specialists.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Rusholme I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Rusholme in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
