As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Biggin Hill?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Biggin Hill and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion your lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Biggin Hill is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you must always trust your lawyer above the other parties in the home moving process.
I just acquired a flat at auction in Biggin Hill. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Having legally committed yourself to purchase you will need to hire the services of a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you are faced with a fast approaching a drop dead date to complete the transaction. All auction property will have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the auction papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation pertinent to leasehold premises. You need to hand this to the solicitor working for you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that your finances are organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Biggin Hill. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Biggin Hill?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Biggin Hill I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Biggin Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
