My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Sale. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
The first thing to do is phone your solicitor and ask them if they can act for the lender. Otherwise you can call The Royal Bank of Scotland who may be able to help.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Sale?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Sale. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Sale differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Sale come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Sale tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Sale or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Sale in advance of instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend not issue a mortgage on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Sale. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Sale to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Sale. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Sale - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Who are the managing agents? Does the lease have in excess of 85 years left?
