It is normal to have concerns where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Heaton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Co-operative approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Heaton.
