Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Knotty Ash solicitor - who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide 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 property lawyer 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 Knotty Ash postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Knotty Ash.

Am I right to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Knotty Ash conveyancing practice?

As with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all put forward lawyers to use. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many banks specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.

Should I instruct a Knotty Ash conveyancing practitioner based in the vicinity that I am purchasing? An old friend can execute the legal work but her office is 300kilometers drive away.
