After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Datchet agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Datchet. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Datchet conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Skipton approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
