It can be beneficial to choose a property lawyer in case of any specialist legal complications with your property transaction, but the best-of-both approach is to instruct a licensed conveyancing solicitor who employs some other conveyancing professionals to complete the simpler parts of the work under their supervision, at a lower rate.

1. Get a mortgage in principle
Know what you can afford to save wasting time on any false starts.
2. Instruct your conveyancing solicitor before you make your offer
Waiting until your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. An online service reduces snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.
3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
You can submit your application as soon as your offer is accepted. An independent broker can help speed this along.
4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.
5. Get your building insurance ready
You'll need insurance from the exchange so research & compare insurance quotes, once your solicitor is instructed.
6. Paperwork (When selling)
Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.

When should you organise your buildings insurance?
If you're buying a leasehold property, the buildings insurance is normally organised by the freeholder for the whole block. However, you'll need to book your own buildings insurance if you buy a freehold property.
In the eyes of the law, you become responsible for the structure of a freehold building you're looking to buy from the point of exchange of contracts, so you should ensure that you've purchased your buildings insurance to coincide with this.
