What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with TSB started?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Haverfordwest conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the TSB approved list.

During a rising market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to press on with searches.
