Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Marple. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Having to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you now have to appoint a conveyancing solicitor soon as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the deal. An auction property will have a bespoke auction pack. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold premises the legal pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation pertinent to leasehold premises. You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Marple completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am buying my first flat in Marple benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with Bank of Ireland. Is this normal?.
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.
