Hello,
I got an offer accepted on a house last week and instructed the solicitor. We don't yet have a mortgage and was wonder whether to wait till we have a full offer before getting the solicitor to do legal work and searches for us.
Was just thinking if the worst happened and we couldn't get a mortgage we would not have lost the £500 in solicitor fees.
My only worry is when the seller solicitor chases the sale he will think we are not serious as she hasn't stated reviewing the paperwork.
Any thoughts?
