Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Harbury conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Lloyds?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Lloyds done the survey? Have you advised Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Harbury solicitor - who is on the Santander conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander 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. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Harbury postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Harbury.
Our sealed bid on a house in Harbury has been accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Harbury. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Harbury conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Barclays and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Harbury.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Harbury
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Harbury conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 62 years left on my flat in Harbury. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord. For most situations an enquiry agent may be useful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document which can be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Harbury.

You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
