We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Cambridgeshire conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale done the valuation? Have you advised Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Cambridgeshire. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
My sealed bid on a detached house in Cambridgeshire has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Cambridgeshire. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Cambridgeshire conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.

The primary upside of using a high street Cambridgeshire conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, deliver your identification documents and pester them where appropriate.
