I just bought a flat at auction in Moor Row. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?

Given that you are now legally bound yourself to purchase you should retain a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the purchase. Every auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the on the contractual date .

I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Moor Row. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Moor Row bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Moor Row conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.

As long as the lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of delay in Moor Row house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Moor Row.

The deeds to our property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Moor Row 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

If copies can’t be found, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.
