My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Stamfordham. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you will need to retain a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you now have a pending deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. All auction property should have an associated legal set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your conveyancer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You need to give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Stamfordham conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale completed the survey? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by RBS. Is it usual for RBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Stamfordham is approved on their conveyancing panel? RBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I'm buying a new build house in Stamfordham with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it may affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML 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.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Stamfordham garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Stamfordham conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Stamfordham conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
