Our offer on a property in Hopton has been agreed to, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Hopton. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with RBS going?
It is usual 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 one thousand pounds, then survey, Hopton conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.
