I just bought a flat at auction in Arlesey. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?

Now that you are exchanged you should retain a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you are faced with a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the purchase. An auction property will have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your lawyer will need. If you have purchased leasehold property the legal papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You should hand this to the lawyer working for you as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the on the contractual date .

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Arlesey. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Arlesey?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Lloyds are being problematic. The Arlesey solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Lloyds are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Last April I purchased a leasehold property in Arlesey. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

Does the lease include onerous restrictions? It is important to be aware whether a new roof is being installed or some other significant cost is pending that will be shared between the leasehold owners and could well materially increase the the service costs or require a specific payment.
