Clydesdale have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Whalley has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will want to be advised as to your conveyancer's details (make sure the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Clydesdale or the financial adviser and finish off any outstanding paperwork. Clydesdale will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to book a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners.

My offer on a detached house in Whalley has been accepted, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Whalley. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Whalley conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Whalley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Whalley conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Whalley is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Whalley.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all rents and maintenance payments will be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
