I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Chorleywood and Rickmansworth conveyancer on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Chorleywood and Rickmansworth solicitor - who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Chorleywood and Rickmansworth surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Chorleywood and Rickmansworth conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the UBS approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth.

Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that can be initiated by the purchaser or by their solicitors which will figure out the risks in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the seller to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding.

The buyer’s lawyers will also commission an enviro report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.
I'm buying a new build house in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this extras as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
