I just bought a property at auction in Carbis Bay. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Given that you have now to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of urgency as you are facing a pending a drop dead date to complete the property. An auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke auction pack. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your lawyer requires. In the case of leasehold premises the conveyancing pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity.

I'm the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Carbis Bay. The Carbis Bay property was put into my name in December. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement is chiefly there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Carbis Bay.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Carbis Bay. Some people will purchase a house in Carbis Bay, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises.

The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the premises has historically flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s lawyers may also conduct an enviro report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be made.
I own a terraced Georgian property in Carbis Bay. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address.

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Carbis Bay and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
