The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Call up Santander or the financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Santander will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Astley.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Astley agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase.

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Astley conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the HSBC approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Astley.
