A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing.

All auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction pack. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation pertinent to a leasehold property.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Eye off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Barclays. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Eye bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Eye conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the conveyancer is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

The deeds to our home are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Eye 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to locate all the suitable documentation so you may purchase or sell your property without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.

How does conveyancing in Eye differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Eye come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Eye usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Eye or who has acted in the same development.
