I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bucklesham. The Bucklesham property was put into my name in February.

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

Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey.

It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
