The vendors have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Murton. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with TSB going?

It is understandable 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 £1k, then valuation, Murton conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the TSB approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.

The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Murton conveyancing specialists.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Murton I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Murton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
