Having exchanged you must retain a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you now have a pending a drop dead date to complete the purchase. Every auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the legal pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property.

is it true that all Dore conveyancing solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Dore. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
You must advise Barclays prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Barclays will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel lawyer.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Dore benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it could affect my loan with Coventry Building Society. 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.
I own a leasehold house in Dore. Conveyancing and Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold.

I purchased a studio flat in Dore, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Dore with an extended lease are worth £181,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2077
With just 51 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £30,400 and £35,200 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
