After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an flat in Warminster accepted, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Warminster. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Principality going with Principality?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Warminster conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Principality approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.
