We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Sacriston conveyancing solicitors are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Leeds Building Society?

Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Having digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Sacriston solicitor - who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend.

As you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Sacriston.

I think she will simply be need to provide a copy of her marriage papers to the conveyancer but she is concerned it will frustrate the house sale. Should she appoint a conveyancer to update the Land Registry documents for the house?

You are not required to update the register as long as you have the evidence required to demonstrate how the name change occurred.
