A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

How does conveyancing in Denham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Denham contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Denham usually acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Denham or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Denham I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Denham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Denham agreed to, the vendor does however have a connected purchase. The current proprietors have offered on somewhere, although it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Denham. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going with Yorkshire BS?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Denham conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Denham.
