I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented property in Worsley by 4/6/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not give notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your solicitor and urge them to they seek the assistance the other side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work to achieve
Completed the sale of my flat in Worsley last July yet the purchaser is texting daily complaining that his lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your disposal your solicitor should deliver the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been redeemed to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Worsley.

I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Worsley bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Worsley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The solicitor must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for your 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
My sealed bid on a semi in Worsley has been accepted, the owners do however have a dependent purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Worsley. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Worsley conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Worsley.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Worsley is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Worsley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Worsley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Worsley 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 property.
I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Worsley. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as usual given that all ground rent and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
