My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Northfleet. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?

Given that you have now exchanged you now have to retain a conveyancing practitioner soon as you will have a pending a fixed date to complete the purchase. All auction property will have a bespoke legal set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased 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 a leasehold property. You need to give this to the solicitor working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Northfleet bank branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Northfleet conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the lawyer is on the lender panel, they must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. 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. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Just bought a terraced house in Northfleet , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Northfleet conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the registration is concluded.

As far as conveyancing in Northfleet registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Northfleet I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Northfleet suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
