My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Wokingham. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Now that you are legally committed yourself to purchase you will need to appoint a conveyancing lawyer soon as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the property. All auction property will have an associated legal set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches.

I am aiming to move home in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Wokingham. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent however this can only occur after the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Wokingham or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Wokingham.
TSB have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Wokingham has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will need to be advised as to your conveyancer's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Contact TSB or the broker and finalise any appropriate forms.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Wokingham where we have experienced a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Wokingham conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
Wokingham Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should consider before buying
-
Please note if it is fewer than 80 years it will impact the salability of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Wokinghamlease extensions you will be required to have owned the residence for 24 months in order to be entitled to carry out a lease extension. Is there a share of the freehold? Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge payments?
My 20yr old son is just in the process of moving house, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. When the seller agreed the offer on the flat we contacted the bank to issue the formal offer. We were disappointed to discover that banks do not accept all lawyer, they need to be on their approved list, is this legal?
Banks tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Wokingham conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
