As a FTB what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Whimple?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Whimple and elsewhere in Devon is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Whimple should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

We expect to receive a DIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Whimple solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Whimple solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
