I just bought a property at auction in Heaviley and Offerton. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Now that you are exchanged you now have to retain a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you now have a pending deadline in which to complete the transaction. An auction property will ordinarily have an associated legal pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the legal papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Heaviley and Offerton conveyancer on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Heaviley and Offerton building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend.

The solicitor must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for your lender. 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.
