Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Skewen has been accepted, what happens next?
Your property agent will want to be informed of your solicitor's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list).

Barclays will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to schedule a slot for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your lawyers.

I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Skewen. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Skewen conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to proceed with searches.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Skewen, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Skewen with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2095
With just 69 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
