Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Chinnor. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?

Now that you are to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you now have to retain a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction set of papers. This will likely include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor requires. If you have purchased leasehold premises the legal pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You should give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Chinnor. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Chinnor?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Chinnor off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Lloyds. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Chinnor 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will know precisely where to find all the relevant documentation so you can purchase or sell your property without a hitch. Where duplicates are not available, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your premises.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Chinnor prior to retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not give a mortgage on this type of home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements from Halifax. If you call us we can investigate further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Chinnor. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
