I have instructed a Waltham solicitor having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Waltham surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

The vendors have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Waltham. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Waltham conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the Lloyds approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to move forward with searches.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Waltham. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the maintenance contribution as usual as all rents and service payments should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
