Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Ongar. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Having legally bound yourself to purchase you will need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of urgency as you will have a pending deadline in which to complete the deal. An auction property should have a corresponding legal set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold property the legal papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You need to pass this on to the lawyer instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Ongar with a loan from TSB. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could impact my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Ongar I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ongar in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
