I just bought a property at auction in Blandford Forum. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Having legally bound yourself to purchase you now have to retain a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are faced with a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the transaction. Every auction property should have an associated legal set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold property the legal papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to the conveyancer working for you ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Blandford Forum. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Blandford Forum?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Blandford Forum. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Blandford Forum building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Blandford Forum conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the bank panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Should I be concerned about estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm rather than a local Blandford Forum conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many professional services, often recommendations from connections can be very helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all recommend solicitors to appoint. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of mortgage providers have an approved list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
