I just bought a flat at auction in Appleton. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Having legally committed yourself to purchase you should retain a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the transaction. All auction property should have an associated legal set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold property the auction papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that your finances are organised to complete on the date specified in the contract.

Will our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Appleton.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Appleton. Some people will acquire a property in Appleton, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Appleton. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the seller to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading response. A buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an environmental report. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.
I purchased a terraced Victorian house in Appleton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and The Mortgage Works. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking The Mortgage Works to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Appleton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Appleton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Appleton before retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not grant a loan on such a premises.
