Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Colyton?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Colyton your lawyer will ask you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Colyton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Colyton accepted, the owners do however have a dependent purchase.

What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Aldermore started?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Colyton conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to press on with searches.
