You have to get a buyer, agree a price, find somewhere yourself and agree a price.

That's true I think I will have to let offer expire until we are farther down the road market wise even though it could cause a delay in the sale?0

I don't see what the mortgage application for a purchase has to do with the progress of a sale?boogiesherbs wrote: »That's true I think I will have to let offer expire until we are farther down the road market wise even though it could cause a delay in the sale?
We get from application to offer in less than two weeks, then our mortgage offer sits for months while solicitors do their work.I am a mortgage broker.

Sorry I mean the sale of ours and completion of purchase, first direct indicated that once the fee was paid it would take 4-6 weeks to move from an offer in principle to an offer?0

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are asking.
The mortgage is a very short process in a very long one to sell and purchase.
You (HSBC) have six months from the point you reserve the mortgage funds. If you do that when you have no buyer, you are hoping to telescope a lot of activity into a shortish period of time.
That's why our clients pay no fees until their chain is fully formed and the full mortgage application is submitted. At least we have a fighting chance of completion within six months, even as a newbuild specialist broker.I am a mortgage broker.

Makes sense and think I'll hold off paying out a fee until we had an offer etc thanks for all the advice0
