Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Twickenham conveyancing lawyers are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Skipton?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Skipton conducted the survey? Have you advised Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I'm in the throws of viewing houses in Twickenham and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with UBS.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
About to purchase maisonette in Twickenham. 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 Kent Reliance 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 Twickenham conveyancing practitioner is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Twickenham
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Twickenham conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Twickenham ground floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Twickenham conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your last Twickenham conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without first obtaining consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
