We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Rutland conveyancing lawyers are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale done the valuation? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Rutland. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My sealed bid on a house in Rutland has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Rutland. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale started?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Rutland conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Clydesdale approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to proceed with searches.

How does conveyancing in Rutland differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rutland approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Rutland tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Rutland or who has acted in the same development.

I am downsizing from my home. My former lawyers have shut. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Rutland if that makes a difference.

Please can you clarify what my options are where my Rutland conveyancing searches reveals negative entries?

Usually, almost all problems arising from Rutland conveyancing search results can be handled before completion or indemnity insurance can be put in place. You should note that even though you intend on buying the premises and may be willing to accept the search results, your building society or bank may not, and when all said and done they have the final say.
