Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stockport

I am purchasing a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Stockport who is on the Alliance & Leicester approved. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester in certain locations such as Stockport. We dont recommend any particular firm.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Stockport and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Stockport lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stockport. Having lived in Stockport for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer 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'm purchasing my first flat in Stockport with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it would adversely affect my loan with The Mortgage Works. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Stockport in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not give a mortgage on such a premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Nationwide. If you call us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Stockport. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Stockport to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

Step one is to select a lender such as Santander, Chelsea Building Society or Bank of Ireland then specify your preferred area for example Stockport. Conveyancing organisations in Stockport and further afield should be listed.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Stockport. I have stumble upon a web site which seems to have the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via phone that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
