My offer on a house in Silverton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Silverton. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with HSBC going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Silverton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
