Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Faringdon conveyancing lawyers were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Co-operative done the valuation? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Faringdon. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Principality your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Principality where a lease does not meet these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Faringdon.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Faringdon is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for delay in Faringdon conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Faringdon.

I am purchasing a new build house in Faringdon with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it would put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
