My sealed bid on house in East Finchley has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have submitted an offer on on an apartment, although it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a local conveyancing lawyer in East Finchley. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nationwide started with Nationwide?
It is standard to have apprehensions where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, East Finchley conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nationwide approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to press on with searches.
