I am under pressure from the owner of a property in Bredbury to exchange within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?

Where you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local connections and know-how. It is possible that they could have handled otherproperties in the same street. Therefore consider using a Bredbury conveyancing lawyer. Second, be sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Bredbury conveyancing deals are suspended or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s lawyer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the transaction being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is believed that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales annually. Many Bredbury conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.

We are aiming to move home in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Bredbury. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this website.

On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent however this can only be done when the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released.

As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Bredbury or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Bredbury.

I have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Bredbury. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?

Your original mortgage agreement with Co-operative will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. You need not do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel firm.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being problematic. The Bredbury solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I acquired a 1 bedroom flat in Bredbury, conveyancing formalities finalised 9 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?
