My offer on a house in Welshpool has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Welshpool. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Principality going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Welshpool conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to move forward with searches.
I am purchasing a new build house in Welshpool benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it will jeopardize my loan with National Westminster Bank. 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 invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Welshpool, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2000. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Welshpool with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2080
With 55 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
