Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Badsey.

I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Badsey property lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
Our sealed bid on a property in Badsey has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Badsey. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale started?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Badsey conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to press on with searches.
How does conveyancing in Badsey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Badsey approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Badsey typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Badsey or who has acted in the same development.
