About to purchase flat in Llanybydder. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide 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 Llanybydder conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
Our sealed bid on a house in Llanybydder has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Llanybydder. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Llanybydder conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Llanybydder.

I am buying my first flat in Llanybydder with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.
