I just bought a house at auction in Wetherby. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now exchanged you now have to find a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a pending deadline in which to complete the deal. An auction property will have an associated legal pack. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the conveyancing papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You should hand this to the solicitor instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Wetherby off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
It is unclear whether 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 Wetherby bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Wetherby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the bank approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Wetherby I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wetherby suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
Why is it not possible to complete our conveyancing in Wetherby on a bank holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the funds needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the purchaser and seller's solicitor and currently this can only occur on a working day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
