My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Bassaleg and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Bassaleg conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bassaleg. Having lived in Bassaleg for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of 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 sickness)

My husband and I have recently had an offer accepted on a apartment and had meeting on Friday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will be subject to an a further charge of £200. This is because they would then have to appoint a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have requested Nationwide to provide me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Bassaleg on the panel for Nationwide.
