Now that you have exchanged you now have to appoint a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you now have a tight a fixed date to complete the conveyancing. All auction property will ordinarily have an associated legal pack. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor requires. 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 relating to a leasehold property. You should give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the on the contractual date .
I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bracknell. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Bracknell on 8/9/2026, valuation was booked five days after, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Bracknell is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Bracknell are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bracknell you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bracknell may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Bracknell and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to affords protection to business tenants, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
