When should I get the mortgage application with UBS going?

It is usual to have concerns 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, Fulham conveyancing search costs, etc).

As to the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with UBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Fulham.

three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Fulham took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Fulham is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Fulham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Fulham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Fulham may ascertain 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.
