I just bought a flat at auction in Cumbria. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Given that you have now to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you should hire the services of a conveyancing lawyer soon as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the property. An auction property will have an associated auction pack. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Cumbria. The Cumbria property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 could be affected by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this provision is primarily there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Co-operative are being difficult. The Cumbria solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I require fast conveyancing in Cumbria as I am faced with a deadline to exchange contracts inside one month. Fortunately I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
If.Given you are are a mortgage free purchaser you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no lawyer would suggest that you don't.

I'm buying a new build house in Cumbria with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it would impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
