My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Eastwood. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?

Having exchanged you will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you will have a pending deadline in which to complete the transaction. All auction property should have a bespoke legal set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your conveyancer will need. In the case of leasehold premises the conveyancing papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You must pass this on to the solicitor working for you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Eastwood. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Eastwood?

Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Eastwood is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Eastwood are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Eastwood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Eastwood 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 residence.

Being a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a service charge for my appartment in Eastwood. As a result of flawed financial planning I slipped into arrears with payments. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there remains three thousand pounds currently due.

I am under pressure to sell and I am nervous that this will hold me back if I have to pay off the arrears first. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the proceeds - is this possible?

It would be wise to clarify with the conveyancer handling your Eastwood conveyancing but one option might be to agree for the debt to be attributed to the buyers. The contractual price due would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then deal with the arrears once they are the owners.
