We're in Abergavenny, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is HSBC , and our solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Are all Abergavenny Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing list of approved practices?

A selection of banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.

Can I be sure that the Abergavenny conveyancing solicitor on the Skipton panel is any good?

We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.

It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Abergavenny bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Abergavenny conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

The conveyancer has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

My sealed bid on detached house in Abergavenny was agreed to, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have put an offer on somewhere, although it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Abergavenny. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Skipton started with Skipton?

It is standard to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Abergavenny conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Skipton approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Skipton and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.
