My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Uppingham. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?

Having legally bound yourself to purchase you now have to retain a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the purchase. All auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Uppingham building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Uppingham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?

The property lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. 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.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Uppingham.

The purchaser’s solicitors may also carry out an enviro report. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.

I am purchasing my first flat in Uppingham with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
