Our offer on a house in Woking has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Woking. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Woking conveyancing search fees, etc).
