My fiancee and I are at the point of looking at flats in Eastney and Southsea and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with UBS.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Eastney and Southsea agreed to, the sellers do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Eastney and Southsea. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Skipton started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Eastney and Southsea conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Skipton approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to proceed with searches.
