It would be wise to appoint a conveyancer now requesting that they open a file on your behalf. This will kickstart: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memo to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to submit the draft paperwork. However, do not instruct your solicitor to start searches until you have your valuation report via Skipton Building Society and you are content to proceed.
