We have had DIP from Chelsea Building Society who suggested that they will loan up to £350k. At what point do we need to appoint a lawyer for conveyancing? Addington is where we plan to move to.
You can appoint a property lawyer now requesting that they generate a file on your behalf. This will kickstart: 1) the selling agent to issue a Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to submit the draft contract. That being said, do not instruct your lawyer to order searches until you have your valuation report via Chelsea Building Society and you are willing to proceed.
