Can you help - my lawyer advises that chancel insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Droylsden conveyancing?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
We previously instructed solicitors located in Droylsden on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate sum for dealing with the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Barclays but by your Droylsden conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Barclays panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Droylsden. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Droylsden?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Droylsden. 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…’
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Droylsden I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Droylsden suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Droylsden conveyancing lawyers are familiar with dealing propertieson private. Your conveyancing practitioner will investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or liabilities.
