It would be wise to appoint a solicitor now so that the property lawyer can open the ledger so they can commence the AML checks etc. Once you wish them to commence work they will seek a payment on account usually approximately £175. That should generally be after you have the mortgage offer and survey results, however should you wish to speed matters you can start the ball rolling sooner albeit risking some money.
