One must appoint a lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you require a mortgage to buy your property. The solicitor will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in order. You can instruct a Heswall conveyancer of your choosing. However, if the conveyancer selected is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel additional charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should do so.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Heswall solicitor having checked that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Heswall surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. 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.
