Some advice if I may. My Wythenshawe solicitor is assuring me that he is legally obliged toorder Wythenshawe conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. Is my lawyer right?

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Wythenshawe conveyancing searches.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Wythenshawe and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Wythenshawe. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I own a studio flat in Wythenshawe, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Wythenshawe with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2092

You have 67 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £10,500 and £12,000 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
