We had appointed conveyancers based in Tonypandy on the Santander solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Santander?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Santander but by your Tonypandy property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
I am buying a property in Tonypandy. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Bank of Ireland be concerned?
As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Tonypandy.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Tonypandy agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The sellers have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Tonypandy. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Santander?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Tonypandy conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, 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 Santander and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Tonypandy.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Tonypandy is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

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 premises.
