My husband and I are spending time viewing houses in Chalfont St Peter and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Leeds Building Society.
It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
My offer on a detached house in Chalfont St Peter has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Chalfont St Peter. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?
It is normal to have apprehensions 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, Chalfont St Peter conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the Aldermore approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to press on with searches.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Chalfont St Peter is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Chalfont St Peter are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Chalfont St Peter you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chalfont St Peter may decide 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 residence.
