I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Whitworth accepted, the vendor does nevertheless have an associated purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, although it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Whitworth. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Whitworth conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Regarding 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 the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with searches.
