Process of applying with UP and what’s next?

Hi guys! I’m aiming to purchase my first home sometime before June this year, and I was thinking of applying directly with UP for my home loan instead of going with a broker because of better rates from UP compared to the other home loans recommended to me by a few brokers 🙃

I’ve read a few posts saying that the UP preapproval process is straightforward etc. But I’m just worried about the steps that come after…

For those of you who have applied directly with UP (new purchase not refinancing), I’m curious how did you go about the process of buying your first home without a broker to guide you along the way? For example, hiring your conveyancer after getting a preapproval - how do you do that? Is it purely Google searching for one and contacting them directly? Or UP recommends you one? Who else do I need to contact or engage?
