I had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Sneinton conveyancing solicitors are instructed. How long does it take for RBS to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have RBS conducted the survey? Have you informed RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Sneinton on 3/7/2026, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Leeds Building Society and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Are Leeds Building Society entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Sneinton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Sneinton lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sneinton. We have lived in Sneinton for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Sneinton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sneinton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
