- where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Bradford On Avon accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Bradford On Avon. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Lloyds started?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Bradford On Avon conveyancing search fees, etc).

During a hot market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Bradford On Avon.
How does conveyancing in Bradford On Avon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bradford On Avon come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Bradford On Avon usually buy 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 property lawyers 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 Bradford On Avon or who has acted in the same development.
