Our sealed bid on house in Navenby was agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have submitted an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and has viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Navenby. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS started with RBS?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Navenby conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the RBS conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to press on with searches.
