I just acquired a property at auction in Wimborne. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Given that you are now exchanged you will need to appoint a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you are facing a pending deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property will have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the legal pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You need to give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Wimborne solicitor - who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS 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. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Wimborne postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Wimborne.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Wimborne with a loan from Barclays Direct. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the extras as it could affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

What makes a Wimborne lease unacceptable for security purposes?
Leasehold conveyancing in Wimborne is not unique. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A duty to insure the building Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Birmingham Midshires, Bank of Scotland, and Bank of Ireland all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Wimborne, conveyancing was carried out October 2000. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Wimborne with a long lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2078
With just 52 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
My fiance and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartmentin Wimborne with a mortgage from a bank. We would like to retain our solicitor in Wimborne however our lender advise he's not listed on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel firms or keep our Wimborne solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The lender mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Wimborne : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
