Reasons to use our Timperley conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 No matter what any alternative on-line conveyancers advise it may be necessary to attend your lawyer to sign documents. Too many 3rd parties are already engaged in a homemove without having to add Royal Mail into the equation.
  • 2 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Timperley is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) often falls short of the level of professionalism you will expect.
  • 3 The Timperley conveyancing firms that we work with are dedicated to supplying value for money, efficient and transparent conveyancing service to borrowers, sellers and remortgagors in Timperley
  • 4 Low cost packages from online conveyancers might seem attractive. However, these companies are often located many kilometers away with limited understanding of the factors that impact property transactions in Timperley
  • 5 Personal touch together with a wealth of experience are key benefits that you should look for when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Timperley conveyancing can be made a lot more complicated due to poor communication between all the parties. The lawyers we work with ensure that the lines of communication are open and act on arising issues and developments instantly.

I can see plenty of information on this site concerning conveyancing in Timperley but can you isolate your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Timperley

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Timperley conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

I am purchasing a property in Timperley. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nationwide 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 Nationwide your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Timperley.

My sealed bid on a house in Timperley has been agreed to, the sellers do however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Timperley. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Timperley conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Timperley.

Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that could impact a commercial premises in Timperley?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Timperley will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Timperley. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Timperley.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Timperley it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Timperley is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Timperley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Timperley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Timperley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

All being well we will complete the sale of our £225,000 maisonette in Timperley in just under a week. The landlords agents has quoted £360 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Timperley?

For the majority of leasehold sales in Timperley conveyancing will involve, queries regarding the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

    Addressing conveyancing due diligence enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Timperley Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Timperley leasehold property is £350. For Timperley conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply the information.

I acquired a basement flat in Timperley, conveyancing was carried out 5 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Timperley with a long lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2105

With 80 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
