My aunt advised me that in buying a property in Droylsden there could be a number of restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external changes to the property. Is this right?

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Droylsden conveyancing practitioners are instructed. How long does it take for Santander to issue the offer to the conveyancer?

We expect to receive a DIP from Nottingham this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Droylsden solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Droylsden solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.

My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Droylsden and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Droylsden. We have lived in Droylsden for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

I got the keys to my home on 9 September and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Droylsden said it will be registered in less than a month. Are titles in Droylsden uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Droylsden registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not typically top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

There are only Fifty years unexpired on my flat in Droylsden. I now wish to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?

If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to find the freeholder. In some cases an enquiry agent would be useful to try and locate and prepare a report which can be used as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Droylsden.
