At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Tadworth accepted, the vendors do however have a connected purchase. The owners have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Tadworth. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Tadworth conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with searches.

The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer may bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect answer. A buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an enviro search. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.
