Our offer on a semi in Avery Hill has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Avery Hill. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Avery Hill conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nationwide approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Avery Hill.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Avery Hill is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Avery Hill are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Avery Hill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Avery Hill may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 property.

    Addressing conveyancing due diligence questions Where consent is required before sale in Avery Hill Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Avery Hill leasehold property is £350. For Avery Hill conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to supply answers.
