I am expecting a AIP from Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society recommend any Chafford Hundred solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Chafford Hundred solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Chafford Hundred accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Chafford Hundred. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?
It is understandable 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 approx £1k, then valuation, Chafford Hundred conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
How does conveyancing in Chafford Hundred differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Chafford Hundred contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Chafford Hundred typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Chafford Hundred or who has acted in the same development.
