My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Felling and Pelaw. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Felling and Pelaw. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Felling and Pelaw agreed to, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Felling and Pelaw. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Felling and Pelaw conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Co-operative approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for hinderance in Felling and Pelaw conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw being more expensive?
Purchasing a new build home is completely different from the normal house purchase conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw. Firstly sellers normally demand contracts to exchange within a tight deadline, so there is a lot of pressure on your conveyancing practitioner to make sure everything is in order. Furthermore new build properties frequently necessitate the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Mortgage company requirements are also more demanding. Given the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
