My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Brynford. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Now that you are exchanged you must appoint a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you will have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the transaction. An auction property will have a bespoke legal pack. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches.

You should pass this on to the conveyancer working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Brynford. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Aldermore your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Brynford.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Brynford is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Brynford are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Brynford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brynford 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 property.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 68 years left on my lease in Brynford. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
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 an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the lessor. On the whole an enquiry agent may be useful to try and locate and to produce a report to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Brynford.
