After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Bredbury accepted, but there is a chain.

During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
