It would be wise to instruct a conveyancer now and ask them to generate a file for you. This will facilitate: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s lawyer to submit the draft contract. However, do not ask your lawyer to order searches until you receive your valuation report via Alliance & Leicester and you are willing to proceed.
