There are a few niche solicitors we can put you in touch with those conducting auction conveyancing. Buckden is just one of our areas of in which our lawyers have offices.

I just acquired a flat at auction in Buckden. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?

Having legally committed yourself to purchase you must instruct a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the transaction. An auction property will have a corresponding auction pack. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your lawyer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You must give this to the solicitor working for you ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I am aiming to move property in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Buckden. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your site.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the selling agent however this should only take place after the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Buckden or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Buckden.

My partner and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Nottingham as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Buckden. Do we need to appoint a local Buckden solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Nottingham would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham list.

Will my solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Buckden.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Buckden. Some people will buy a house in Buckden, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Buckden. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim resulting from an incorrect response. The buyer’s conveyancers will also commission an enviro report. This should reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be made.

I am buying my first flat in Buckden benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Buckden is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Buckden are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Buckden you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Buckden may decide 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 residence.

I am downsizing from my property. My previous solicitors closed down. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Buckden if that makes a difference.
