My offer on a semi in Dorridge has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Dorridge. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Dorridge conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Skipton approved list.

During a buoyant market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Dorridge.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
