My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Astley. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Now that you are exchanged you now have to hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of priority as you now have a pending a drop dead date to complete the property. An auction property will have a bespoke auction pack. This will include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold property the legal pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You should hand this to the solicitor instructed by you as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete on the on the contractual date .
My wife and I have organised the release of further monies on our home loan from Nationwide as we intend to conduct improvements to our property in Astley. Are we obliged to choose a local Astley solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Nationwide do not ordinarily instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide list.
I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Astley bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Astley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Astley for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Astley conveyancing specialists.

You should not rely on one quote. One should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Astley. Then choose one that you are comfortable with and crucially, is on the approved list of the mortgage company that you have applied for a mortgage from.
