As a first time buyer what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Waltham?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Waltham and elsewhere in Lincolnshire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Waltham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

On occasion a potential adversary will try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

My solicitor has informed me that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Waltham?

The appropriate level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

Is it the case that all Waltham CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Aldermore conveyancing list of approved practices?

It is true that some lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

As your lender is HSBC your lawyer must follow the formal instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Waltham.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Waltham agreed to, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing lawyer in Waltham. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Principality going with Principality?

It is normal to have concerns where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Waltham conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Principality approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Waltham.
