After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Chew Magna. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £150. Not long after, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Chew Magna. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Chew Magna conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Chew Magna.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Chew Magna?

Conveyancing - in Chew Magna or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to remedy the problems before you complete your move.
