My solicitor has identified a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Glan Conwy. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer says that he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage.

I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Glan Conwy. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this requirement chiefly exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Glan Conwy conveyancing solicitors were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from UBS?
There is no definitive answer here. Have UBS done the survey? Have you informed UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
My offer on a detached house in Glan Conwy has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Glan Conwy. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with RBS?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Glan Conwy conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the RBS conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to move forward with searches.
