What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Gateshead conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the TSB approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Gateshead.
