In the process of buying another property (selling our current one as well). Just can't remember any of the process from when we bought our current home and don't know when I should be hiring a surveyor for the next property.
We're due to start our mortgage application this week - should we have already had the survey done? I'm starting to panic a bit. Or do we see if our mortgage application is successful first, and then hire a surveyor?
Also, we'll be getting a level 3 survey - what if that survey reveals more renovation work than we anticipated? (It's an older property, built in the 30's, and in need of improvements and modernising). Say we can negotiate a lower price for the house to account for all the extra costs the survey potentially reveals, will we have to make another mortgage application for the adjusted price?
Help much appreciated, feeling quite lost and stressed in this process. Our buyers solicitors are being a nightmare too!
