Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Heywood

My brother and I have recently bought a property in Heywood. We have noticed several issues with the house which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Heywood?

The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Heywood. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a form called a SPIF. If the information proves to be misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Heywood.

Completion is due on our sale of a £350,000 maisonette in Heywood next Friday. The management company has quoted £312 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Heywood?

For most leasehold sales in Heywood conveyancing will involve, questions about the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

    Addressing pre-contract enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Heywood Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Heywood leasehold property is £350. For Heywood conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to supply answers.

I own a garden flat in Heywood, conveyancing was carried out July 1999.

Corresponding flats in Heywood with over 90 years remaining are worth £227,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2096

You have 72 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
