I just bought a flat at auction in Spitalfields. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?

Now that you are legally committed yourself to purchase you will need to retain a conveyancing practitioner soon as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the purchase. An auction property should have an associated legal pack. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor will need. If you have purchased leasehold property the conveyancing pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Spitalfields building society branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Spitalfields conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

As long as the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Spitalfields. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £225. A couple of days later, the property lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the HSBC 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 HSBC 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.

My wife and I have a renovated Georgian house in Spitalfields. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and HSBC Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Spitalfields and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Spitalfields is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Spitalfields are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Spitalfields you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Spitalfields may decide 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.
