I just bought a property at auction in West Kirby. Conveyancing is required. What is next?

Having legally committed yourself to purchase you will need to find a conveyancing practitioner soon as you now have a pending deadline in which to complete the property. All auction property should have a bespoke legal pack. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You need to give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my West Kirby building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My West Kirby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook conditions for the bank. 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I have instructed a West Kirby lawyer having checked that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own West Kirby surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I require fast conveyancing in West Kirby as I am under a deadline to exchange contracts inside 4 weeks. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

With lots of history conveyancing in West Kirby the following are examples of what can appear and adversely impact the marketability of the property: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in West Kirby. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in West Kirby

    Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

My wife and I soon to exchange on the purchase a house in West Kirby but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the vendor of four thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet my lender will not permit this. Why were they approached?

Any conveyancer listed on the lender conveyancing panel is required to disclose to the lender of any variations to the sale figure. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the reduction to your lender then they would have to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
