Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Boncath. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Having to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to appoint a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you will have a pending a drop dead date to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property will have an associated auction set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the conveyancing pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises.

My conveyancer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Boncath conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Boncath building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Boncath conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the lender panel, they must adhere to the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Boncath concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
