It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Stockport conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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.
We are due to move home in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Stockport. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent but this should only be done when the sellers solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Stockport or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Stockport.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Stockport building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Stockport conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The solicitor must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am downsizing from our house in Stockport and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stockport. Having lived in Stockport for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Stockport is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Stockport are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Stockport you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stockport may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My conveyancer (based 300 kilometers awayrequires that I execute a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Stockport to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Stockport
