I am expecting a OIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Gospel Oak solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Gospel Oak solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Gospel Oak off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Gospel Oak accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Gospel Oak. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale started?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Gospel Oak conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Clydesdale approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Gospel Oak.

I bought my home on 3 January and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Gospel Oak said it would be recorded inside ten days. Are titles in Gospel Oak uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Gospel Oak registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I'm buying my first flat in Gospel Oak with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
