Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Tonyrefail conveyancing practitioners have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Virgin Money?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Virgin Money done the valuation? Have you advised Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am buying a property in Tonyrefail. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Skipton be concerned?
Given that your lender is Skipton your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Skipton where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Tonyrefail.
We were going to get a AIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Tonyrefail solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Tonyrefail solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.

I am buying my first flat in Tonyrefail with a loan from Halifax. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it will jeopardize my loan with Halifax. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Tonyrefail I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Tonyrefail suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
