We have an offer in principle from Santander who suggested we could borrow up to £300k. When do I need to appoint a solicitor for conveyancing? Niton is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to instruct a solicitor now so that the solicitor can open the file so they can commence the AML checks etc. As and when you wish them to commence work you will be asked for a payment on account usually about £225. That would generally be after you have the loan offer from your lender and valuation back, but if you want to speed matters you can start the ball rolling quicker albeit risking some expense.
