The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Hornsey.

It is understandable to have anxieties 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, Hornsey conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
