All auction property will ordinarily have an associated legal pack. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor will need. In the case of leasehold property the conveyancing papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that your finances are in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Greenford bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Greenford conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I'm buying my first flat in Greenford with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Greenford is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Greenford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Greenford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Greenford may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My father-in-law has recommend that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Greenford. Should I choose my own property lawyer?

Our offer on property in Greenford was accepted, the vendor does nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a property, although it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Greenford. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Greenford conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Greenford.
