At last I have had an offer on a flat in Millom agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The sellers have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Millom. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?

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 valuation, Millom conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to move forward with searches.

We are soon to complete buying a house in Millom but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the seller of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the mortgage company will not agree to this. Why were they involved?

Your property lawyer that is on the lender conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform the lender of any changes to the sale amount. In the event that you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to your mortgage company then they would have no choice but to discontinue representing you and the lender.
