Me and my partner are purchasing a property in Billericay. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we will need to send money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

I am buying a property in Billericay. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Santander be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Santander where a lease does not meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Billericay.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Billericay. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when acquiring a residence in Billericay? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for repairs towards the chancel within the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Billericay?
Unless a prior acquisition of the property completed after 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors delivering conveyancing in Billericay to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
How does conveyancing in Billericay differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Billericay come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Billericay typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Billericay or who has acted in the same development.
