My offer on a detached house in The Meadows has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in The Meadows. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, The Meadows conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with searches.

Where a The Meadows lease has no more than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the property.

Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. For most The Meadowslease extensions you will be required to have been the owner of the property for 24 months before you are eligible to exercise a lease extension.
