Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wythenshawe

We are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Wythenshawe but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Principality are not allowing this. Why were they approached?

The lawyer being on the Principality conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Principality of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to disclose the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Wythenshawe.

we are a couple who decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Wythenshawe with a residential mortgage from Aldermore.We like our Wythenshawe conveyancing lawyer but Aldermore says her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Aldermore panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Aldermore use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Aldermore solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore

How can we tell if a Wythenshawe conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Wythenshawe obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Wythenshawe. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Wythenshawe bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Wythenshawe conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

The lawyer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 left on the lease.

What can a local search tell me about the property I am purchasing in Wythenshawe?

Wythenshawe conveyancing often commences with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations such as Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Wythenshawe conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your new home. The search will supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject sections.

The deeds to my property are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Wythenshawe 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

You no longer need to have the physical official documentation to establish that you own the land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Wythenshawe I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wythenshawe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
