After shopping around on the internet I have found a Bulkington lawyer having made sure that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative 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 Bulkington 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.

I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Bulkington agreed to, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The owners have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Bulkington. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Bulkington conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the Nottingham approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Bulkington. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and TSB. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking TSB to clarify?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bulkington and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

You could have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Yorkshire Building Society, Skipton Building Society, and TSB all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to pull out.
