Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Leominster conveyancing lawyers are instructed. How long does it take for Nottingham to send the offer to the solicitor?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nottingham done the valuation? Have you advised Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I'm spending time looking at apartments in Leominster and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this stage? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Barclays.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Leominster accepted, the sellers do however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Leominster. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Leominster conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Leominster.
How does conveyancing in Leominster differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Leominster come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Leominster tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Leominster or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Leominster is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Leominster are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Leominster 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 Leominster may determine 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 premises.
