I have instructed a lawyer having made sure that they are on the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property? Or I've read lots of house buying,I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my solicitor - who is on the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Beverley Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Beverley 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own 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. or Your lawyer 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 postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Beverley Building Society you could contact your them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors.

The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure these solicitors are on the lenders panel). Call up Beverley Building Society or your broker and complete any relevant paperwork. Beverley Building Society will tell you what documents they want. Beverley Building Society will instruct a valuer. The valuer will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about week to get a mortgage offer. Beverley Building Society will issue the offer to you and your lawyer. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing.
