Intending to buy a apartment in Heathrow. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Heathrow solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
Our offer on a property in Heathrow has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Heathrow. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Heathrow conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with UBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Heathrow.
