My sealed bid on a property in Manor House has been accepted, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Manor House. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Manor House conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Manor House.

My wife and I purchased a terraced Victorian house in Manor House. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Norwich and Peterborough Building Society to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Manor House and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.

We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancer don't lend money. They should be governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate stringent conditions covering monies deposited by them.
