Our sealed bid on a semi in Aston on Trent has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Aston on Trent. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Nationwide started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Aston on Trent conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Nationwide approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Aston on Trent.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.
