My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Finchampstead. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Having exchanged you must retain a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you now have a pending deadline in which to complete the property. Every auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer requires. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the auction papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
My lawyer has informed me that flying freehold insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Finchampstead?

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. Co-operative will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Finchampstead.
I own a terraced Victorian property in Finchampstead. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Finchampstead and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

I own a leasehold house in Finchampstead. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Finchampstead who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Finchampstead conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
