I have finally had an offer on a flat in Hightown accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Hightown. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society started?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Hightown conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Hightown.

I have been recommended by a few property agents in Hightown to choose a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
