Our offer on a semi in Alperton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Alperton. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Alperton conveyancing search charges, etc).

Regarding the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to move forward with searches.
