My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Catton. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list of lawyers. Can you help?
You should phone your conveyancer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Alternatively you can get in touch with Accord Mortgages Ltd who may be able to assist.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Catton conveyancing lawyers were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Santander?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Santander conducted the survey? Have you informed Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We were going to get a AIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Catton solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Catton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
My sealed bid on a house in Catton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Catton. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Catton conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Clydesdale approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to move forward with searches.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Catton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Catton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Catton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Catton 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.
Taking into account that I will soon spend 450k on a terraced house in Catton I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer concerning thehome move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Catton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a file reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Catton should be the figure that you end up paying.
We are four weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the local agent to carry out the conveyancing in Catton. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
They would need to be really bad in order to consider replacing them. Has your mortgage been issued? In the event that it has you must inform them of the new conveyancer and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. The conveyancer should be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental charges and complications. So that should be your starting point.

Do I stop my mortgage payments with Co-operative once a completion date for my home sale in Catton has been agreed?
You are best advised to maintain paying any mortgage payments to Co-operative until the mortgage is redeemed out of the proceeds of sale as part of your Catton conveyancing.
