I just bought a property at auction in Keston. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Given that you have now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should appoint a conveyancing solicitor soon as you are facing a pending a drop dead date to complete the deal. All auction property will have a corresponding auction pack. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold premises the conveyancing pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Keston. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Keston?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Keston. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Kent Reliance are being pedantic. The Keston solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
