I just acquired a house at auction in Wragby. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Given that you have now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to instruct a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you will have a pending deadline in which to complete the transaction. All auction property will have a corresponding auction pack. This will likely include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor requires. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the conveyancing papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete on the on the contractual date .
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Wragby conveyancing lawyers were appointed. How long does it take for Skipton to forward the offer to the conveyancer?

I have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Wragby. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Coventry BS will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Coventry BS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. You need not do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
The deeds to my property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Wragby 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Wragby I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wragby suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £175,000 maisonette in Wragby in just under a week. The freeholder has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Wragby?
Wragby conveyancing on leasehold flats more often than not necessitates the buyer’s solicitor sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to these enquiries most will be content to do so. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is above £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have little option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
