Clydesdale have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Marlborough has been agreed to, now what?
Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Clydesdale or the broker and complete any appropriate paperwork. Clydesdale will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to get a mortgage offer. Clydesdale will send the offer to you and your lawyers.

At last I have had an offer on a flat in Marlborough accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Marlborough. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Co-operative going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Marlborough conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Co-operative approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Marlborough.
I got the keys to my apartment on 5 May and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Marlborough advises it should be dealt with inside ten days. Are transfers in Marlborough particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Marlborough is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
