Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Goodwick conveyancing lawyers have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Goodwick and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Goodwick. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Goodwick area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Goodwick
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Goodwick conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
I am attracted to a two flats in Goodwick which have approximately forty five years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

Is anyone aware of any major works anticipated that could add a premium to the maintenance fees? What prohibitions exist in the Goodwick Lease? You should be aware that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the property. Check with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for two years in order to be legally able to exercise a lease extension.
