Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Trafford Park

We are buying a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Trafford Park who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Trafford Park.

I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Trafford Park building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Trafford Park conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, they must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Trafford Park. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My offer was accepted on a property in Trafford Park on 13/2/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for delay in Trafford Park conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Trafford Park.

How does conveyancing in Trafford Park differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Trafford Park approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Trafford Park tend to buy the land, 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 Trafford Park or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Trafford Park I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Trafford Park in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

I am purchasing a ground floor flat in Trafford Park. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance schedule. I was told today I was informed that the vendor must forward the insurance paperwork for the flat above also. Why does my conveyancer want to see the insurance for the flat above? Is it strictly necessary? We have been in hold for the previous two weeks…

It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Trafford Park to discover Conveyancing in Trafford Park in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire block - which is definitely better. You should check with your solicitor but it would seem that your property lawyer is looking to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be rebuilt due to lack of insurance.
