The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Hackbridge lawyer . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
Do lawyers ask for money up-front for conveyancing in Hackbridge?
If you are buying a property in Hackbridge your lawyer will request that you place them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this will be asked for immediately prior to exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due will be payable a few days prior to the day of completion.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a Hackbridge based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers should you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the mortgage company to see if they allow a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Hackbridge.

We are happy to do all the communicating over email, but I guess at some stage we may be required to physically go into the solicitor's office to sign documents?
On the whole there is no requirement to physically visit the office of your conveyancer, they can post any relevant papers to you, which you can sign and send back. Many buyers and sellers prefer to use a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means a prerequisite for conveyancing in Hackbridge.
