First, If you are under time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will make use of local connections and knowledge.

It is claimed that 18% of Blackley conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks member panel.

Many Blackley conveyancing firms can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.

Your conveyancer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Blackley will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of changes or need the permission of another owner. Many additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions.

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Blackley. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Shortly after, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

I bought my home on 2 August and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Blackley expressed confidence that it will be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Blackley uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Blackley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I am buying my first flat in Blackley with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Blackley is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

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.
