I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my let out property in Hillingdon by 9/5/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice for your letting until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, contact to your lawyer and request that they seek the assistance the owners solicitors, try to a target completion date that all parties will work towards
Is there a list of TSB panel solicitors in Hillingdon on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings viewable over the internet. If you are seeking to appoint a Hillingdon conveyancer on the TSB please use our facility.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Hillingdon bank branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Hillingdon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Hillingdon agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Hillingdon. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Hillingdon conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Hillingdon.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Hillingdon with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my solicitor about this extras as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
