I plan on buying an apartment in Tyldesley. My Solicitor has never been on on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Tyldesley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
One must appoint a property lawyer to complete the legal work required if you require a loan to purchase your home. The property lawyer will conduct all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You could select a Tyldesley conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the solicitor selected is not a member of the bank solicitor panel further costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

Should our lawyer be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Tyldesley.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Tyldesley. Plenty of people will acquire a property in Tyldesley, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Tyldesley. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the seller to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading answer. The buyer’s solicitors will also commission an enviro report. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.
Me and my brother own a terraced Edwardian house in Tyldesley. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Tyldesley and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently bought a leasehold property in Tyldesley. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
