After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Llangollen agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Llangollen. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Llangollen conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Llangollen.
I am buying my first flat in Llangollen benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with Skipton Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Llangollen?
Conveyancing - in Llangollen or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the defects prior to you move in.
