My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Primrose Hill. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?

Now that you are legally committed yourself to purchase you will need to choose a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are faced with a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. An auction property should have a bespoke auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the auction pack should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation pertinent to a leasehold property. You should hand this to the solicitor working for you ASAP. Do make sure that your finances are in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.

I have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Primrose Hill. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?

Your original mortgage agreement with Barclays will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Barclays will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor.

I require fast conveyancing in Primrose Hill as I am under pressure to complete within one month. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are are a mortgage free purchaser you are at free not to do searches although no solicitor would recommend that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Primrose Hill the following are examples of issues that can crop up and therefore affect the marketability of the property: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Charges, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Primrose Hill?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Primrose Hill. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Primrose Hill I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Primrose Hill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Given that I will soon part with £400,000 on a house in Primrose Hill I wish to talk to a solicitor regarding thetransaction prior to instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor due to be doing your property ownership legalities in Primrose Hill.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a matter reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Primrose Hill should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
