As someone with no idea as to the Timperley conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Timperley

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Timperley and elsewhere in Greater Manchester is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and sometimes the lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Timperley an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

We are witnessing a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. You should always trust your lawyer ahead of all other parties in the conveyancing process.

We're in Timperley, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Lloyds , and our solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers locally in Timperley on the Nottingham solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate charge for handling the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nottingham?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Timperley lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being problematic. The Timperley solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Intending to buy a house in Timperley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Timperley property lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

Do I need to pay for insurance to address the risk of chancel repairs when buying a property in Timperley?

Unless a previous purchase of the premises completed post 12 October 2013 you could expect conveyancing practitioners carrying out conveyancing in Timperley to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Timperley. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 conveyancing.
