After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in West Ealing agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in West Ealing.

It is understandable 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 valuation, West Ealing conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market.

Me and my fiance are expecting to exchange on the purchase a house in West Ealing but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the seller of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but my lender will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
The conveyancer listed on the lender approved list is required to advise the mortgage company of any amendments to the sale figure. In the event that you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to your lender then they would have no choice but to refrain from representing you and the lender.
