Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Dockland Settlement. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Having exchanged you now have to find a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you now have a fast approaching a fixed date to complete the property. An auction property should have a corresponding auction pack. This will include evidence of title and search results.

You should give this to the solicitor working for you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete on the date specified in the contract.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Dockland Settlement. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Dockland Settlement?

Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Dockland Settlement conveyancing solicitors have been instructed. How long does it take for RBS to send the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have RBS completed the survey? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian house in Dockland Settlement. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Alliance & Leicester . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Alliance & Leicester to clarify?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Dockland Settlement and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Dockland Settlement is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Dockland Settlement are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Dockland Settlement you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dockland Settlement may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Dockland Settlement and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides protection to business lessees, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
