My sealed bid on a house in Ashford Kent has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Ashford Kent. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS started?
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 (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Ashford Kent conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
