I just bought a flat at auction in Wembley. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Having legally committed yourself to purchase you must appoint a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the transaction. All auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction pack. This will include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the conveyancing pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to the conveyancer instructed by you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Wembley building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Wembley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Wembley. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £175.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore 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.
