After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Finningley accepted, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Finningley. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Santander?
It is understandable to have anxieties 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 survey, Finningley conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Santander approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Santander and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Finningley.
I am buying my first flat in Finningley with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.
