I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Hornchurch accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Hornchurch. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Hornchurch conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the HSBC approved list. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Hornchurch.
