After shopping around on the internet I have found a Reddish conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Reddish postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Reddish.
I purchased my apartment on 3 April and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Reddish said it would be formalised inside ten days. Are titles in Reddish particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Reddish registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Reddish. Conveyancing and TSB mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Reddish who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Reddish conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
