Road and Rail Construction

Council road and rail projects can be a major inconvenience, or boon, to local residents. People moving into the Northwich area should be aware of how these will affect their property. Northwich searches show development nearby (closer than 200m) of roads and railway lines. In rarer cases, the council may install a 'no entry' sign or similar restriction, preventing access to a road. Such an action may not technically be a 'scheme' and therefore may not be mentioned in searches.

Does your Northwich purchase qualify for Stamp Duty Relief?

Stamp duty relief may be available for property purchases in Northwich labelled as 'disadvantaged areas'. In England and Wales, they are based on electoral wards. These wards do not always coincide with postcode districts, so the postcode search tool cannot always be relied on. If it is suspected that a property is located in a disadvantaged area, further enquiries are required to be made to the local council or authority. That said, for any purchase below £150,000, it is worth making a simple postcode search to find out if a property is in a Disadvantaged area. Call our Conveyancing team for a full list of designated disadvantaged areas in Northwich.

Is you home built on Contaminated Land?

There can be significant implications for anyone buying a house which has been built on contaminated land. Searches for contaminated land do not initially involve any physical inspection, but are based on old records of land use. It is not only newer homes that are at risk. For example, traces of mercury and other poisonous chemicals have been found in the topsoil of properties built during the 1960s, on land used during WWI for munitions manufacture.

The consequences of your solicitor not being on your Mortgage Lender's panel

Many lenders, and particularly nationwide banks, were once willing to instruct any Northwich solicitors who requested to be added to their panel. Lenders have also reduced the size of their panels, setting more restrictive criteria for membership. If your conveyancing solicitor is not on your preferred lender's panel, then the lender will not instruct that firm to act in connection with the mortgage. You then have a choice; you can either select a different lender or solicitor. It is possible to continue with your original choices, but your lender will expect you to pay for the legal costs relating to the mortgage. Bear in mind that it is usually more efficient and less expensive for the same firm act for you and your lender. If you decide to instruct another firm because they are on your lender's panel, you should bear in mind the following:

  • The new firm might charge more or may charge additional fees.
  • You might still have to pay your old firm for work they have already completed.
  • The new firm may have no knowledge of the Northwich area.
