We have AIP from Yorkshire Building Society who have advised that they will loan up to £218k. When do I need to instruct a practitioner for conveyancing? New Ferry is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to instruct a conveyancing practitioner now so that the property lawyer can open the file so they can do their ID checks etc. Once you wish them to commence work you will be asked for a payment on account usually about £225. That would normally be once you have the loan offer from the bank and valuation results, however should you wish to speed matters you can start the ball rolling sooner albeit risking some expense.
