After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Wroxham agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Wroxham. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?
It is normal 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 £1k, then survey, Wroxham conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Wroxham.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I've found a house that seems to meet my requirements, at a reasonable price which is making it more attractive. I have just discovered that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold.
