Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in St Neots. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Given that you are now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to instruct a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you are faced with a tight a drop dead date to complete the deal. All auction property will ordinarily have an associated legal set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am aiming to move house in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in St Neots. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent but this can only happen when the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in St Neots or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in St Neots.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in St Neots on 16/9/2024, valuation was booked 2 days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Are Coventry BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in St Neots completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in St Neots differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in St Neots come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in St Neots usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in St Neots or who has acted in the same development.
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 simple, no chain conveyancing. St Neots is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in St Neots are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in St Neots you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in St Neots 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.
