The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Earl Shilton. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
