My wife and I are purchasing a property in Welling. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Welling off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Barclays. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I currently have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Welling. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Co-operative must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel lawyer.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Welling
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Welling conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by senior management.
My estate agent has suggested using their conveyancer for the conveyancing in Welling - Is it not simpler easier to just instruct them?
This is not necessarily the case and you are entitled to use whichever property lawyer you prefer for your Welling conveyancing. A conveyancer put forward by an estate agent may not always be the best solicitor, they may recommend their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
