Our offer on a semi in Fleet has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline.

The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market.
