Given that you have now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to hire the services of a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are faced with a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the purchase. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This will include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold property the conveyancing pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Herne Hill. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Herne Hill is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Herne Hill are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Herne Hill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Herne Hill may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I dont have enough spare money to pay a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Herne Hill , but I am keen proceed. What can I do?

One option is to try and accept a smaller deposit. Most sellers will agree to a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
