My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Gosforth. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Now that you have legally bound yourself to purchase you should retain a conveyancing practitioner soon as you now have a pending deadline in which to complete the transaction. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the conveyancing papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You should hand this to the solicitor working for you ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
is it true that all Gosforth conveyancing solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

How does conveyancing in Gosforth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Gosforth come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Gosforth usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Gosforth or who has acted in the same development.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Gosforth. Conveyancing and Leeds Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Gosforth who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
First contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Gosforth conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
