He or She will update you as to headway and keep you informed. Should you need to contact the firm you will be sure who to ask for and we'll endeavour to make sure that you are kept fully informed.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Barlborough conveyancing lawyers were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from TSB?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have TSB done the survey? Have you advised TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Barlborough off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Skipton. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
I am selling our house in Barlborough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Barlborough lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Barlborough. We have lived in Barlborough for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
