I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. East Ham conveyancing practitioners have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local East Ham solicitor - who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore 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 East Ham 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.
Will my solicitor be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in East Ham.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in East Ham. Some people will buy a house in East Ham, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in East Ham. The standard information given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect answer. The buyer’s conveyancers may also commission an environmental search. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be carried out.
How does conveyancing in East Ham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in East Ham come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in East Ham usually 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in East Ham or who has acted in the same development.
