It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent.

I have instructed a Rutland conveyancer having checked that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Rutland surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Rutland conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Barclays approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to press on with searches.
