My sealed bid on a detached house in Little Hampton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Little Hampton. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Little Hampton conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the HSBC approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to press on with searches.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Little Hampton is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Little Hampton may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 property.
