I am expecting a DIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Sanderstead solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Sanderstead solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
Our offer on a property in Sanderstead has been accepted, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Sanderstead. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Sanderstead conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to press on with searches.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Sanderstead , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Sanderstead conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Sanderstead registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
