As someone clueless as to the Chadderton conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me for the home moving process in Chadderton
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Chadderton and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, estate agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Chadderton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose interest is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Chadderton conveyancing solicitors are instructed. How long does it take for Barclays to forward the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Barclays conducted the survey? Have you advised Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am expecting a OIP from Nationwide this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Chadderton solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Chadderton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.

How does conveyancing in Chadderton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Chadderton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Chadderton tend to acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Chadderton or who has acted in the same development.
