Hi
We made an offer on a property 3 weeks ago which was accepted. Our mortgage company went out last monday to do the valuation and today we recieved our mortgage offer letter.
Our solicitors told us that we needed to inform them once our mortgage offer letter was recieved so that they could make arrangements to take the deposit.
Will we need to pay the deposit now to the solictor or will this be taken when the purchase is nearing to completion?
Thanks
Joanne

Your solicitor will tell you when the deposit should be paid to them. Usually this is on exchange of contract.
