The sellers have placed an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Hampton Wick. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Hampton Wick conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS approved list.

During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to move forward with searches.
