The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to press on with searches.
