My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Irthlingborough. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Now that you are exchanged you now have to retain a conveyancing practitioner soon as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the property. All auction property should have a corresponding legal pack. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You should give this to the lawyer instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete on the on the contractual date .
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Irthlingborough. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Irthlingborough?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Irthlingborough.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Irthlingborough. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
How does conveyancing in Irthlingborough differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Irthlingborough come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Irthlingborough typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Irthlingborough or who has acted in the same development.
