After shopping around on the internet I have found a Whaley Bridge conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society 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 conveyancer 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 Whaley Bridge postcode.

My sealed bid on a semi in Whaley Bridge has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Whaley Bridge. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Whaley Bridge conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Barclays and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Whaley Bridge.

Developers have suggested I use a conveyancer and I've sought a quote from them. They are nearly two hundred pounds less expensive than my family Whaley Bridge conveyancer. What's the catch?
Developers often have panels of conveyancers who are quick and who know the developer’s paperwork and property lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to select their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they want exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested property lawyer is that they may prove reluctant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Whaley Bridge conveyancing practitioner.
