I just bought a property at auction in Sleaford. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Now that you have legally committed yourself to purchase you now have to hire the services of a conveyancing lawyer soon as you now have a tight deadline in which to complete the deal. All auction property will have a bespoke legal pack. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Sleaford. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
About to purchase apartment in Sleaford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Sleaford conveyancer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Sleaford is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Sleaford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sleaford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sleaford may ascertain 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 property.
How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Sleaford based one who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?
If you haven't yet instructed a conveyancer to commence the conveyancing and at this stage simply received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Sleaford that you're thinking of instructing.
