My stepmother pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Little Hulton there could be various restrictions prohibiting external alterations to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of anumerous of properties in Little Hulton which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Little Hulton should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I am planning to move property in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Little Hulton. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent however this should only take place after the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you will need to advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Little Hulton or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Little Hulton.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Little Hulton lawyer on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need chancel insurance when buying a property in Little Hulton? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property living in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Little Hulton?
Unless a prior acquisition of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Little Hulton to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Georgian house in Little Hulton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Chelsea Building Society to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Little Hulton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I am buying a new build flat in Little Hulton. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Little Hulton conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Little Hulton conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you make enquires with several firms including non Little Hulton conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be of use:
-
Can they put you in touch with clients in Little Hulton who can give a testimonial? How many lease extensions have they carried out in Little Hulton in the last twenty four months?

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
