The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Dolgellau.
