I just acquired a flat at auction in Godstone. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Having legally committed yourself to purchase you should hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you will have a pending deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property will have a bespoke legal set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation pertinent to a leasehold property. You must pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I'm the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Godstone. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

New build sellers have put forward a solicitor and I've received a quote from them. It's almost £400 cheaper than my local Godstone conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?
Developers frequently have lists of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the seller’s contract and conveyancer. As many developers offer an inducement to select their approved property lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your local Godstone conveyancing practitioner.
