Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Ashton under Lyne.

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Ashton under Lyne conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
