Nottingham have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Crewe has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your property agent will want to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Nottingham or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate forms. Nottingham will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to get a mortgage offer. Nottingham will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Crewe.
