Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tyldesley

My partner and I are intent on acquiring residence in Tyldesley. My property lawyer is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Tyldesley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?

One must instruct a solicitor to deal with the formalities if you take out a loan to purchase your home. The conveyancing practitioner will carry out all the relevant investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One could instruct a Tyldesley lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the solicitor selected is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel supplemental charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

My lawyer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Tyldesley. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Tyldesley. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?

Given that you are now for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner soon as you are faced with a pending a fixed date to complete the property. Every auction property will have a bespoke legal set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor requires. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You should hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Tyldesley. Our aim is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal conveyancing on the property involve investigations to determine if these alterations were previously refused?

Your conveyancer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Tyldesley can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party. Some extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

I currently have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Tyldesley. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nottingham?

Your original mortgage agreement with Nottingham will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nottingham will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor.

I acquired my house on 13 February and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Tyldesley expressed confidence that it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Tyldesley particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Tyldesley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Tyldesley from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Tyldesley can be reduced where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ representatives.
  • If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a duplicate share certificate can be a lengthy process and frustrates many a Tyldesley conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable double-check by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is below 75 years. In the circumstances it is important at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. A minority of Tyldesley leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Tyldesley leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Where you dont have the consents in place you should not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer before hand.

Tyldesley Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should ask before Purchasing

    How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? The majority of Tyldesley leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service bill for maintenance of the building set by the landlord. Should you purchase the flat you will have to meet this liability, usually in instalments during the year. This may differ from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large communal grounds. There will also be a ground rent to be met annual, this is usually not a exorbitant figure, say around £50-£100 but you need to enquire as occasionally it can be prohibitively expensive. Generally speaking the outlay for major works tend not to be included within service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Tyldesley require tenants to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance.
