We chose a Wylam based firm for our conveyancing in Wylam last week. After carefully reading the Terms it is apparent thatI am liable for costs even if the dealfalls through. Would I be best advised to choose an internet conveyancing brokerage promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Wylam?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover those transactions that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such arrangements generally do not cover expenditure for instance Wylam conveyancing search fees.
I am buying a property mortgage free in Wylam. I have been residing for the last twelve years in Wylam. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Wylam conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it may be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where properties with functional issues can still show up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Wylam will provide you some practical guidance here.
I am looking to buy a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Wylam who is on the TSB solicitor. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Wylam conveyancing solicitors are instructed. How long does it take for Virgin Money to send the offer to the solicitor?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Virgin Money conducted the survey? Have you advised Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I've read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Wylam solicitor - who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC 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. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Wylam postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Wylam.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Wylam accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Wylam. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Wylam conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Wylam.
I'm buying a new build house in Wylam with a loan from Halifax. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
