Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Dersingham conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. How long does it take for Clydesdale to forward the offer to the lawyer?

Our sealed bid on a property in Dersingham has been agreed to, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Dersingham. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Dersingham conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Coventry BS approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Dersingham.

Back In 2009, I bought a leasehold house in Dersingham. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Dersingham who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Dersingham conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
