It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Old Colwyn conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Old Colwyn.
