Given that you have now exchanged you should instruct a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the deal. Every auction property should have an associated legal pack. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor requires. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property.

I am expecting a DIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any New Brighton solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint New Brighton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in New Brighton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the New Brighton conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in New Brighton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in New Brighton I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in New Brighton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
