We are purchasing a property in Surbiton. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
About to purchase house in Surbiton. 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 Coventry BS 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 Surbiton conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Surbiton accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The owners have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Surbiton. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Surbiton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Surbiton.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Surbiton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Surbiton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Surbiton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Surbiton may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
