Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Bletchley. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Having to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner soon as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the transaction. Every auction property will have an associated auction set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the conveyancing papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You need to give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Can I be sure that the Bletchley conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?

Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Kent Reliance. Is it usual for Kent Reliance to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Bletchley is approved on their conveyancing panel? Kent Reliance have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Bletchley. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building
You may have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.

If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to pull out.
