My wife and I buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Worsley. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to ascertain if these works are permitted?

Your property lawyer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Worsley can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of changes or necessitated the permission of another owner. Many works call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Leeds Building Society as we wish to conduct alterations to our house in Worsley. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Worsley solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Leeds Building Society would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society panel.

The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register.

  2. where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Coventry BS mortgage has been paid off.

My partner and I are selling our house in Worsley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Worsley. Having lived in Worsley for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor 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 illness)

About to purchase a new build apartment in Worsley. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Worsley

    Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Worsley is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Worsley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Worsley you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Worsley may decide 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 property.

I have chosen a Worsley conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (FTB’s) and have noticed in the engagement letter that they are not governed by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be concerned or is that usually the case with solicitor?

We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate stringent obligations regulating monies held in their bank.
