I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Heaton Moor. My lender is Chelsea Building Society
Chelsea Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 10/5/2024, the requirements read as follows :
Me and my partner are purchasing a house in Heaton Moor. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we have to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Heaton Moor conveyancers incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I have paid off my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Heaton Moor conveyancer on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I used Wolstenholmes a few years ago for my conveyancing in Heaton Moor. I now require my papers but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Heaton Moor of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously instructed, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
I'm remortgaging my existing property to a buy to let mortgage with TSB and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on further property. The location we are interested in is Heaton Moor. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two lenders and link together the transactions?
Make use of our comparison tool on this page to be sure that the lawyers are approved by both banks. Having checked that they are the lawyer should be able to tie up the two deals but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and specify your desired outcome and needs.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Heaton Moor. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Heaton Moor - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I bought a split level flat in Heaton Moor, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Heaton Moor with a long lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2086
With only 62 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £17,100 and £19,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
