We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Darton on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Darton solicitor. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Intending to buy a house in Darton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society 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 Darton conveyancing practitioner is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

My sealed bid on a property in Darton has been accepted, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Darton. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Darton conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Principality approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Darton.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Darton

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
