I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Altrincham. Almost all the appartments have already been sold. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Altrincham?
You are taking a significant risk in not carrying out Altrincham conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would seriously advise in no uncertain terms that your conveyancer conducts them. If timings and cost are primary concerns you should consider with your lawyer about the options such as indemnity insurance available to you

I completed on my flat on 3 February and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Altrincham advises it should be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Altrincham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Altrincham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Altrincham is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Altrincham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Altrincham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Altrincham may determine 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.
