I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Theale accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Theale. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Theale conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Nationwide approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to move forward with searches.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Theale and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Theale. We have lived in Theale for six years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
