Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Crayford conveyancing solicitors have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?

My offer on a detached house in Crayford has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Crayford. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Crayford conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Aldermore approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to press on with searches.
Will my lawyer be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Crayford.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Crayford. Plenty of people will buy a house in Crayford, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Crayford. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s conveyancers should also conduct an environmental report. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be made.
