We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Thorne conveyancing lawyers are chosen. How long does it take for Kent Reliance to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Kent Reliance done the survey? Have you advised Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
About to purchase house in Thorne. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire 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 Thorne property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Thorne agreed to, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Thorne. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Lloyds going?
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 in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Thorne conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Thorne.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Thorne is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Thorne are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Thorne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thorne may ascertain 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 property.

You should be aware if it is fewer than 80 years it will impact the value of the property. Check with your lender that they are happy with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. For most Thornelease extensions you would need to own the residence for two years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Who takes charge for maintaining and repairing the building? It would be wise to find out as much as possible regarding the company managing the block as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are often in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day issues like the cleanliness of the common parts. Ask other people what they think of them. Finally, be sure you know the dates that the service fees are due to the appropriate party and specifically how they are spending that money.
