After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Blakelaw accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Blakelaw. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?

It is usual 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, Blakelaw conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Nationwide approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Blakelaw.

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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
