My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Ewloe. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Now that you are to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should find a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you will have a tight a drop dead date to complete the transaction. Every auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This should include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold property the conveyancing pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
When it comes to lenders such as RBS, do Ewloe solicitors incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Ewloe. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
You must advise Yorkshire BS before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel firm.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Ewloe 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be held by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and get up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Ewloe with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with Halifax. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Ewloe I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Ewloe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
Expecting to exchange soon on a studio apartment in Ewloe. Conveyancing solicitors assured me that they are sending me a report tomorrow. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Please note if it is fewer than eighty years it will impact the salability of the property. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Ewloelease extensions you will need to own the premises for 24 months in order to be legally able to carry out a lease extension. Be sure to find out if the the lease contains any adverse restrictions in the lease. For instance plenty of leases prohibit pets being allowed in in a block in Ewloe. If you like the propertyin Ewloe yet your cat is not allowed to move with you then you have a very hard choice. Best to be warned whether fixing the lift or some other major work is due in the foreseeable future to be shared amongst the leaseholders and could well materially impact the level of the maintenance charges or result in a specific payment.
