We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a Arley based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you want the "fee-free" deal. Call the mortgage company and check if they offer you a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Arley.
When it comes to lenders such as Nottingham, do Arley conveyancers face a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

I'm at the point of looking at flats in Arley and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with Lloyds.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are seeking a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
My offer on a house in Arley has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Arley. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Arley conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Arley.
