I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Bromham solicitor - who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton 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 Bromham postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Bromham.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Bromham
It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Bromham conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
