Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton 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. Your solicitor 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 your Everton postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Everton.

As far as conveyancing in Everton registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any third parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
