It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Trafford. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Trafford involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
We are aiming to move home in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Trafford. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only be done when the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Trafford or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Trafford.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Trafford. I have a mortgage agreed with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
Aldermore have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Trafford has been accepted, what happens next?
Your property agent will need to be informed of your lawyer's details (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Aldermore or the financial adviser and finish off any outstanding forms. Aldermore will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Aldermore will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Trafford.
