My partner and I are first time buyers, and have just had a crazy offer accepted on a house! There is no chain, and the seller wants the sale completed within 5 weeks, which my Mortgage Advisor suggest is not impossible.
I obviously need to instruct a solicitor and have heard mentions in other posts about online ones.
Has anyone used any of these, with either positive or negative feedback and reccomendations.
Thanks

Your mortgage advisor will know how quickly your particular mortgage company work. There are lenders that can work at that speed and if that is a priority tell your advisor to find one that can do it. Is your mortgage advisor independent or is he tied to one (slow) company?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

He's independant I believe
He said it was no problem from his end completingwithin 6 weeks, but it was the solicitors that may hold things up.

Don't use online solicitors. Find a good recommended solicitor, and get the searches in order straight away. If the searches come back unsatisfactory, you can get indemnity insurance to cover it.0
