I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Flitwick solicitor - who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham 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 conveyancing practitioner 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 Flitwick postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Flitwick.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Flitwick agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Flitwick. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Flitwick conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Flitwick

We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Flitwick conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
