About to purchase flat in Raunds. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton 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 Raunds conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Raunds agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Raunds. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Raunds conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the HSBC approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.
