Is it the case that all Cheetham Hill conveyancing solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the CLC.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Cheetham Hill. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Cheetham Hill.
I am expecting a OIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Cheetham Hill solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Cheetham Hill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Cheetham Hill. I happened to chance upon a web site which appears to be the perfect answer If it is possible to get all formalities completed via phone that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I own a leasehold house in Cheetham Hill. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Cheetham Hill who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Cheetham Hill conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I purchased a split level flat in Cheetham Hill, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Cheetham Hill with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2087
With 64 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £14,300 and £16,400 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
I was told by my bank that their panel solicitors work on no move no charge basis for conveyancing in Cheetham Hill. I had a purchase fall through yet the solicitors have requested search fees! They are claiming that the fees are seperate!
in offering "no move no fee" Cheetham Hill conveyancing lawyers are foregoing their charges for any work conducted. We must stress this is NOT an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the property lawyer have to pay money out to independent parties, for instance Cheetham Hill local search fees
