Planning on purchasing a flat in Waterloo. 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 Aldermore 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 Waterloo conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
My sealed bid on a detached house in Waterloo has been accepted, the owners do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Waterloo. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Waterloo conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Waterloo.

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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Waterloo is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Waterloo are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Waterloo 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 Waterloo 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 premises.

One month into a sale of a flat in Waterloo. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged an extortionate amount by the managing agents. So far we have paid £250 for a leasehold management information and then a further £118 for supplemental queries supplied by the purchaser's property lawyer.
Neither you or your conveyancing practitioner will have any control over the extent of the charges for this information however the typical fee for the information for Waterloo leasehold premises is £395. When it comes to Waterloo conveyancing transactions it is conventional for the vendor to pay for these charges. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions most will be content to do so - albeit often at high prices out of proportion to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates set charges for administrative tasks. Nor is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to issue answers.
