About to purchase apartment in Cleator. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Cleator property lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Cleator accepted, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Cleator. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Barclays going?
It is understandable 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 survey, Cleator conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with Barclays and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Cleator.
How does conveyancing in Cleator differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Cleator approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Cleator typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Cleator or who has acted in the same development.
