Have just purchased a probate house at auction in West Green. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Given that you are now legally bound yourself to purchase you should appoint a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you are facing a pending a fixed date to complete the transaction. Every auction property should have an associated auction pack. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches.

You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.
Is it correct that all West Green CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their panels.
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 my West Green building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My West Green conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The solicitor has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
