Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Holbrook conveyancing lawyers are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from RBS?
There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS conducted the valuation? Have you informed RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Holbrook. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Holbrook building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Holbrook conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Holbrook. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as normal because all rents and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
