HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC 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. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Stockport postcode.

Builders have suggested I use a solicitor and I've received a quote from them. They are almost £300 less expensive than my own Stockport solicitor. What's the catch?

Builders normally have panels of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the developer’s documentation and solicitor. As many developers offer an inducement to choose their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they demand an exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should stick with your local Stockport lawyer.
