My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Nationwide as we intend to conduct improvements to our home in Brandesburton. Are we obliged to appoint a local Brandesburton solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Nationwide don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Brandesburton lawyer having made sure that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Brandesburton postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Brandesburton.

It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
