I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Middlewich accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Middlewich. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Lloyds started?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Middlewich conveyancing search charges, etc).

A solicitor would need to be really bad in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the new solicitor and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. The conveyancer should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental charges and frustration. So that should be your starting point.
