It’s unusual for properties in Ashton In Makerfield and has limited impact for conveyancing in Ashton In Makerfield but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Ashton In Makerfield agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a flat, although it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Ashton In Makerfield. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money going with Virgin Money?
It is standard to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Ashton In Makerfield conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the Virgin Money approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to press on with searches.
