About to purchase maisonette in Bakewell. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bakewell conveyancing practitioner is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a property in Bakewell has been agreed to, now what?
The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Yorkshire BS or your broker and complete any outstanding paperwork. Yorkshire BS will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to get a mortgage offer. Yorkshire BS will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Bakewell.
Our sealed bid on a semi in Bakewell has been agreed to, the sellers do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Bakewell. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham started?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Bakewell conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nottingham approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to proceed with searches.
I have been told that property searches are a common reason for stalling in Bakewell house deals. Is this right?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Bakewell.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Bakewell is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Bakewell are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bakewell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bakewell may determine 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 residence.
