Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland in certain locations such as Kempston. We dont recommend any particular firm.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Kempston conveyancing solicitors are appointed. How long does it take for Co-operative to send the offer to the conveyancer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Co-operative done the survey? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Kempston bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Kempston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Your conveyancer has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 left on the lease.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nottingham. Is it usual for Nottingham to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Kempston is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nottingham have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

What can a local search inform me concerning the house my wife and I purchasing in Kempston?

Kempston conveyancing often commences with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for example Searches UK The local search is essential in every Kempston conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home. The search will supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic sections.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Kempston benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Kempston ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold home.
