There is no definitive answer here. Have Nottingham completed the valuation? Have you advised Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
My wife and I are in the process of viewing flats in Pitsea and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this point? I will be getting a home loan with Aldermore.

How does conveyancing in Pitsea differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Pitsea contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Pitsea usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Pitsea or who has acted in the same development.
