Searches in Stockport
The local authority search goes to Stockport Council, which covers the whole borough, from Heaton Moor and Reddish down to Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme and Marple. United Utilities handles the water and drainage search.
The Mersey starts in Stockport where the Goyt and the Tame meet, so homes in the river valleys get a close look at the flood search. Our guide to conveyancing searches explains what each one checks.
Things we look out for in Stockport
- Chief rents. Some older freehold houses here still carry a chief rent, a small yearly charge owed to whoever holds the rentcharge. It's easy to forget, but missed payments can cause trouble, so we check for one on every Stockport freehold.
- Long leasehold houses. Plenty of houses in the borough are sold on long leases, often 999 years. They usually work much like a freehold, but we still check the ground rent and covenants. Our leasehold vs freehold guide explains the difference.
- Victorian villas. Big old houses in Heaton Moor and Heaton Mersey often have extensions, loft conversions or flats carved out of them. We check for planning permission and building regulations sign-off.
- Mill conversions. Apartments in converted mills near the town centre are leasehold, so we read the lease and the service charge budget before you commit.
