Looking for Conveyancing in Wigan for your home sale or purchase? A local Solicitor with experience across the Greater Manchester area can assist you towards a faster completion. There is a variety of property across Wigan, from 50’s style bungalows in Scholes to classic Victorian abodes in Swinley.

Other neighbourhoods in Wigan include: Worsley Mesnes which is a mix of modern, detached dwellings and apartment complexes and Gidlow which is popular for large pre-war terraces and flat-front semis.

During the Industrial Revolution, Wigan experienced dramatic economic expansion and a rapid rise in the population. Although porcelain manufacture and clock making had been major industries in the town, Wigan subsequently became known as a major mill town and coal mining district. The first mine was established at Wigan in 1450 and at its peak there were 1,000 pit shafts within 5 miles of the town centre. Activity was so extensive that one town councillor remarked that "a coal mine in the backyard was not uncommon in Wigan"; activity ceased during the latter part of the 20th century.

Awareness of local issues and concerns can mean the difference between a stress-free move, and a drawn-out and difficult process. Associations with local authorities and other Wigan information sources, such as water and drainage providers, are maintained by our Solicitors and furthermore, any areas of particular consideration when buying or selling in Wigan will also be examined in detail.

We have assisted home movers throughout Wigan, including Conveyancing in WN2, WN3, WN4, WN6, WN7.

Wigan Tree Preservation Orders

When land around Wigan is developed for housing, the existence of a TPO will be revealed in a local search against property on the original estate, whether or not there are any affected trees on the specific property being purchased. The existence of any planning conditions, originally imposed on the developers of a Wigan property, will be revealed in a local search. Trees planted in accordance with a condition placed on new build property developers are not necessarily subject to a TPO.

What are the consequences if your solicitor is not on your Lender's panel?

Many lenders, and particularly nationwide banks, were once willing to instruct any solicitors who requested to be added to their panel. However, mortgage lenders have started removing firms which do not carry out much work for them, or have not met certain additional criteria. If your lender does not accept your chosen solicitor, you must make a decision as to how to proceed:

  • Instruct another firm who is on your lender's panel, or,
  • Find a mortgage from a different lender

You could also choose to work with your current solicitor, but you will have to pay the lender's costs in addition to your own, as they will instruct a member of their panel. If you do not switch firms, your lenders will instruct a solicitor themselves. You are expected to pay these costs in addition to your own, and as this firm may have a heavy caseload with many other matters underway, you will not have the same ability to stay abreast of developments and apply more pressure if delays occur.

Is your Wigan new home located in an at risk conservation area?

Conservation areas are designated by Local Authorities to manage change in regions that people wish to protect from decay. However, sadly many are falling into neglect e.g. alterations to front elevations like removal of original bay windows.

The following conservation areas are reported as at risk:

  • Tyldesley Town Centre - poor, low vulnerability and deteriorating.
