Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Disley

My best friend’s uncle is a property lawyer. I expect that I can be offered friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of costs should I be expecting for conveyancing in Disley?

You should compare pricing. Make use of our comparison tool on this site. You will notice that estimates seem to be different but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Disley?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Disley. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

How does conveyancing in Disley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Disley approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Disley typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Disley or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Disley before appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Disley. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Disley to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Disley

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Disley conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.

I today plan to offer on a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing. I have just been informed that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are issues purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Disley. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Disley are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in Disley so you should seriously consider looking for a Disley conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example requiring the landlord’spermission to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is located on an estate. Your conveyancer will advise you fully on all the issues.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Disley - Sample of Questions you should ask before Purchasing

    What is the length of the lease? The answer will be useful as a) areas can cause problems for the building as the communal areas may start to deteriorate if services remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have a dispute with the managing agents you will want to know about it Is there a share of the freehold?
