I just bought a property at auction in Redland. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Now that you have for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you will need to hire the services of a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of urgency as you will have a tight a drop dead date to complete the property. All auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You should pass this on to the conveyancer instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.
We previously instructed conveyancers based in Redland on the RBS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate sum for the legal aspects of the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by RBS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by RBS but by your Redland conveyancer. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Redland. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Redland solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Virgin Money don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Redland , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Redland conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Redland registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises so registration formalities is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Redland is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Redland are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Redland you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Redland may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My solicitors in Redland have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the lender Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
