I'm purchasing a house via a private sale, FTB so I have absolutely no idea of the process.
Purchase price was agreed 2 weeks ago, since then I've send all my documents off to my mortgage broker. She came back to me with a full acceptance this week and said it has now been passed to the underwriters.
I've already got a solicitor in place, who is dealing another issue, so she will also be handling the house purchase for me.
Is there anything else I should be doing now? Does the mortgage valuation and then searches get prompted by my solicitor once the mortgage application has gone through or do I need to arrange these?
I'm currently in a rented house so have no plans to give notice until contracts are exchanged but just want to make sure I'm not causing any delays now.
