I just bought a property at auction in Heckington. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Now that you have legally bound yourself to purchase you must retain a conveyancing solicitor soon as you are faced with a tight a drop dead date to complete the conveyancing. All auction property should have an associated legal pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You must give this to the lawyer instructed by you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Heckington property lawyer on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your TSB 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 TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, 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 TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so

My husband and I may need to let out our Heckington garden flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Heckington conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Heckington do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments? You should be aware that where the lease has less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the value of the property. Check with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for a couple of years before you are legally able to extend the lease. Does the lease include onerous restrictions?
