Now that you have to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should find a conveyancing practitioner soon as you are facing a tight a fixed date to complete the transaction. An auction property will ordinarily have an associated legal set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the auction 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 must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
My wife and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Aldermore as we want to carry out alterations to our home in Kegworth. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Kegworth solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Aldermore do not ordinarily instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore panel.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Virgin Money are being pedantic. The Kegworth solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Kegworth. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as normal as all rents and maintenance charges should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I acquired a 1st floor flat in Kegworth, conveyancing having been completed 5 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Kegworth with a long lease are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2084

I own a leasehold flat in Kegworth. Conveyancing was finished in five years ago. I have been told that I should not let the lease length get too low. Is this correct?
Kegworth domestic long term leases are for a fixed term - normally ninety nine years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Kegworth were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these leases now have under 80 years remaining. That may sound like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to require leases to have a minimum of 75 years left to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching seventy five years. To enhance your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore advantages to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
