There is lots of here about conveyancing in Gatley but can you isolate your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Gatley
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Gatley conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am due to move house in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Gatley. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent but this should only happen after the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. You should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Gatley or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Gatley.
I am purchasing a property in Gatley. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Clydesdale be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Clydesdale your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Gatley.
We are intent on selling our house in Gatley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Gatley lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Gatley. We have lived in Gatley for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I used Action Conveyancing a few years past for my conveyancing in Gatley. Now, I need my documents however the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Gatley. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing solicitor in Gatley who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Gatley conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
Gatley Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should ask Prior to buying
-
How many years are left on the lease? It is important to be aware whether fixing the lift or some other major work is coming up that will be shared between the tenants and could well materially impact the level of the maintenance fees or result in a specific payment. Many Gatley leasehold properties will incur a service charge for maintenance of the block set on behalf of the freeholder. If you purchase the flat you will have to pay this liability, usually periodically accross the year. This can vary from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large common grounds. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay annual, normally this is not a large sum, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to enquire as on occasion it could be prohibitively expensive.
