Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Aughton. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Having exchanged you should find a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the transaction. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches.

You must hand this to the conveyancer instructed by you ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete on the on the contractual date .
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Aughton. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Aughton?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Aughton. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Aughton off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Aughton?
Conveyancing - in Aughton or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the buying price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects before you complete your move.
