Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Markfield. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Now that you have for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you now have to hire the services of a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. An auction property should have an associated legal pack. This will likely include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor requires. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You should give this to the conveyancer working for you as soon as possible. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Markfield. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Markfield?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Markfield. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
