Adaptation of Residential Property

Every element of residential property under one roof

Buying or selling your home should be an exciting experience, but all too often can prove to be stressful as well. Against such a backdrop, it is important to secure the services of a legal expert, to steer you around the pitfalls and guide you to a successful conclusion of this most personal of transactions.

The dedicated Residential Property team at Pannone is unique for a city centre firm. Whilst many firms of solicitors offer conveyancing services, the calibre of our lawyers, scope of our expertise and focus on personal advice and service of the highest quality set us apart.

With personal service at the top of our agenda, clients are assigned a dedicated solicitor who oversees the entire transaction from start to finish, supported by a team of qualified practitioners. A fully-computerised case management system ensures that any member of the team can provide up-to-date details of the transaction and deal with any queries you may have quickly and efficiently.

Our size and scope ensures we can provide an integrated one-stop solution to associated residential property issues, with clients able to draw on internal and external specialists in areas such as planning, construction and financial services.

Our areas of expertise

Whilst we outline some areas of particular expertise below, it is impossible to provide more than a flavour of the scope of our residential property work in this leaflet. Suffice it to say that our client base, sector and legal expertise is such that we can advise and provide help on any issue including:

• Buying and selling houses
• Buying and selling flats or apartments
• Remortgaging
• Tenancy agreements
• Joint ownership or transfer of ownership
• Adaptation or purchase of houses under Court of Protection arrangements
• Meet the requirements of clinical or personal injury clients
• Residential and mixed use development

Buying and selling houses

When you are buying and selling a house - or like the majority of our clients, doing both at the same time, we will make the transaction as stress free and easy for you as we can. We offer speed and efficiency at all times. Our team will explain the process that you will be undertaking, we carry out the necessary searches on your property, go through survey reports, check the title and explain the conditions of a mortgage offer. Above all else, we pride ourselves on our level of communication with you and with all parties in your chain.

Buying and selling apartments

Whether you are purchasing one apartment or are interested in bulk purchasing or selling apartments, our specialist New Build Team is second to none. The grounding of buying and selling New Build property is exactly the same as buying and selling existing property but with additional elements unique to new property, and unique to apartments in particular. Our team has substantial experience, supported by the latest case management technology, in ensuring that the regulations applicable to New Build and the covenants entered into by developers will be met. We protect you. We also have substantial experience in sub-selling properties and the tax implications thereof.

Re-mortgaging

Our specialist Re-mortgage Department provides a bulk re-mortgage handling service. The Residential Property Department assists in single transaction re-mortgages of property. We are able to offer a fast-track re-mortgaging service within ten days, where the lender agrees to the use of indemnity insurance policies or a more conventional service that still ensures you receive your surplus funds as soon as possible, usually within a three week period.

Tenancy Agreements

We provide comprehensive advice on all forms of residential tenancy agreements, acting for both landlords and tenants.

Joint Ownership or Transfer of Ownership

Following divorce or separation - or where there is some other adjustment in your property affairs - we can speedily process the necessary documents to transfer ownership from a joint name to sole name basis and can help ensure that any associated mortgages and/or life policies are also re-assigned.

We also provide clear and sensible advice about the different types of joint ownership to assist you in making clear informed decisions as you purchase your property.

Adaption or purchase of houses under Court of Protection arrangements as to meet the requirements of clinical or personal injury clients

We have a specialist team who deal with Court of Protection arrangements and the trust implications of specialist clinical or personal injury clients as they come to invest in property.

Residential and mixed use developments

We assist developers in assembling their sites and setting them up to ensure they are disposed of quickly and efficiently. We have the best plot sales department in Manchester , dedicated development lawyers led by our Head of Department, Sarah Keegan, and experienced staff and client focused teams. We report regularly to clients, we use the latest case management technology and we proactively push each and every plot through to its conclusion.
