Me and my partner are purchasing a property in Stepney. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we will need to deposit money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Stepney. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Stepney?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Stepney. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Co-operative as we wish to conduct improvements to our house in Stepney. Do we need to choose a local Stepney solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Co-operative would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative panel.

I'm refinancing my existing house to a buy to let loan with Bank of Scotland and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on a second property.

Make use of our search tool on this page to ensure that the solicitors are approved by both mortgage companies. Assuming that they are your solicitor will be able to tie up the two deals but you should talk with you solicitor and specify your expectations and requirements.
As co-executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a residence in Monmouth but I am based in Stepney. My solicitor (based 250 miles awayneeds me to sign a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Stepney to attest and place their company stamp on the document?

I have been told by numerous family members that it may take 6-8 weeks for Stepney conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The paperwork was only forwarded from the vendors solicitor a few days ago so now does it countdown?
You need to be pragmatic concerning timelines. Conveyancing in Stepney takes on average about two months. This timeframe is not due to solicitor being slow and deliberately delay matters. The level of money involved in purchasing any property is so high, the purchaser's lawyer needing to carry out a wide range of enquiries, searches and supplemental checks to protect the purchaser and their mortgage company (if there is to be a home loan) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Stepney involves getting information from a range of different parties, including other lawyer, local councils, private companies, mortgage companies. Some of these are efficient. Plenty are not. Finally, it doesn't matter how quickly your solicitor do their part, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can go ahead until they are.
