At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Penn accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Penn. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS started?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Penn conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Penn.
