Waiting till after your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. Using an online service cuts down on snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
As soon as your offer is accepted, you can submit your application. An independent broker can help speed this along.4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.5. Get your building insurance ready

Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
Greater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as, nor even always contiguous with the borders of the boroughs. Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.
Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK. It can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.

What are property searches?
Property searches are reports from the water, environmental companies and the local councils about the location your property is situated in.
They provide you with information about the property which your seller may not know such as planning consents, highways information and road adoption agreements, and any notices and/or restrictions affecting the property and information about the main water supply, the location of public water drains, whether there are any public sewers within the boundaries of the property or in the near vicinity, and if any sewers or proposed sewers are adopted.
Searches are highly important in the conveyancing process as they could bring light to potential issues which your solicitor should know about and about which they may want to raise further enquiries with the seller and their solicitor.
If you're buying with a mortgage, there are certain searches you are required to get but these are worth getting anyway to help your solicitor best complete their report on title.
