I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Salford for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Salford conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Salford differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Salford approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Salford typically acquire the real estate, 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 Salford 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 Salford prior to retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to issue a loan on this type of house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Salford. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Salford to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

I am using a search engine for the term on line conveyancing in Salford it reveals numerous property lawyersin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right conveyancer for the sale of my house?

The preferential way of finding the right conveyancer is via personal testimonial, so ask colleagues and those you trust who have purchased a property in Salford or a respected estate agent or mortgage broker. Costs for conveyancing in Salford vary, so it's a good idea to secure a minimum of three fee estimates from different companies. Dont forget to clarify that the charges are guaranteed not to increase.
