Our sealed bid on a property in Park Royal has been agreed to, the owners do however have a connected purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Park Royal. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is understandable to have apprehensions 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, Park Royal conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the TSB approved list.

In a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Park Royal.
How does conveyancing in Park Royal differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Park Royal contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Park Royal usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Park Royal or who has acted in the same development.
