I am expecting a DIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Alderley Edge solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

I'm in the throws of looking at houses in Alderley Edge and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Santander.
It would be sensible to start your search sooner rather than later.

Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Santander, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Santander conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
