After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Brackley accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Brackley. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Santander?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Brackley conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Santander approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with Santander and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Brackley concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Brackley is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.
