My sealed bid on a semi in Elmstead has been accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Elmstead. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Elmstead conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Elmstead.

Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies.

Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
