I just acquired a house at auction in East Sheen. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Given that you have now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to appoint a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you are faced with a fast approaching a drop dead date to complete the transaction. An auction property should have an associated legal pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You should 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 place to complete on the date specified in the contract.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in East Sheen. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in East Sheen has been accepted, what happens next?
Your property agent will wish to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Contact Yorkshire BS or the financial adviser and finish off any outstanding forms. Yorkshire BS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to schedule a time for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in East Sheen.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. East Sheen is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in East Sheen are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in East Sheen you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in East Sheen may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have used your best endeavours to track down the freeholder.
