After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Surbiton agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Surbiton. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Surbiton conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Surbiton.

Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Surbiton.

The primary upside of using a local Surbiton conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Surbiton know how is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were impressed that must surpass using an unfamiliar Surbiton conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
