Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wigan

At long last a loan agreement from Santander for the refinancing of my single room garden flat is expected within the next few days. Could you suggest a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Wigan?

You have arrived at the wrong place to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing in Wigan. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint companies offering ninety nine pound conveyancing in Wigan. At best, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you being stung for additional fees and still not receive the service expected.

Are you able to suggest a Virgin Money sanctioned Wigan conveyancing solicitor who can have us moved in within two weeks? Am I best advised to go for a local Wigan practice or a factory type comparison site?

We can recommend some very good Wigan conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the main road in Wigan. Go in to two or three firms and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a costs illustration. Discuss your time frames together with the reasons and ask for an assurance on your deadline. Appoint the lawyer that appears most efficient.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Wigan and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Wigan lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Wigan. We have lived in Wigan for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I'm buying my first flat in Wigan with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Wigan is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Wigan are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wigan you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wigan may ascertain 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 residence.

As co-executor for the estate of my uncle I am selling a property in Cardiff but I am based in Wigan. My solicitor (approximately 200 kilometers from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Wigan to witness and place their company stamp on the document?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Wigan
