We had selected solicitors based in Wilsden on the Principality solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate amount for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Principality but by your Wilsden property lawyer. Some firms on the Principality panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Wilsden conveyancing lawyers have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from HSBC?
There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC conducted the valuation? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
My fiancee and I are at the point of viewing flats in Wilsden and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Kent Reliance.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wilsden is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wilsden are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wilsden you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wilsden may decide 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 residence.
