I'm at the point of looking at flats in Poulton Le Fylde and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with HSBC.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
My offer on a semi in Poulton Le Fylde has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Poulton Le Fylde. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Lloyds going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your lawyer is on the Lloyds approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde.
