My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Arundel. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now legally committed yourself to purchase you will need to retain a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of priority as you are facing a pending a fixed date to complete the property. An auction property should have an associated auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold property the legal papers 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 must pass this on to the solicitor working for you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
We are aiming to move home in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Arundel. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent but this should only happen once the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. You should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Arundel or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Arundel.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Arundel off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Barclays. 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 have 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 Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
