We have an offer in principle from Nationwide Building Society who said that they will loan up to £300k. When do we need to appoint a practitioner for conveyancing? North Yorkshire is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to appoint a property lawyer now and ask them to create a file on your behalf. This will kickstart: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to submit the draft agreement. However, do not ask your conveyancing practitioner to order searches until you have your valuation report via Nationwide Building Society and you are happy to move forward.
