I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Winterbourne conveyancing practitioners were chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Kent Reliance?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Kent Reliance conducted the valuation? Have you informed Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Winterbourne. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nottingham be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Nottingham where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Winterbourne.
Nottingham have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Winterbourne has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Nottingham or your broker and finish off any appropriate documentation. Nottingham will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Winterbourne.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Winterbourne I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Winterbourne for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
