As someone unfamiliar with the Coombe Warren conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Coombe Warren
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Coombe Warren or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, property agent and on occasion a mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Coombe Warren is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Coombe Warren. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland 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 Coombe Warren solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
HSBC have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Coombe Warren has been agreed to, now what?
Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Call up HSBC or the broker and finalise any outstanding paperwork. HSBC will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. HSBC will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Coombe Warren.
My offer on a semi in Coombe Warren has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Coombe Warren. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Coombe Warren conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Coombe Warren.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Coombe Warren is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Coombe Warren are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Coombe Warren you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Coombe Warren 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 property.
