We were going to get a AIP from Nottingham this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Gilwern solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Gilwern solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
My wife and I are in the throws of looking at houses in Gilwern and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
My sealed bid on a house in Gilwern has been agreed to, the owners do however have a dependent purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Gilwern. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Santander going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Gilwern conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Santander and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to proceed with searches.
