In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bishopston? Why is this being asked of me?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Bishopston. However these days you will not be able to complete any conveyancing process in the absence submitting evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a bank statement. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as proof of ID it needs to be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not sufficient without the other.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Bishopston conveyancing practitioners were instructed. How long does it take for Barclays to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Barclays completed the survey? Have you advised Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I'm in the throws of looking at flats in Bishopston and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have my conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Skipton.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Bishopston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Bishopston conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bishopston. Having lived in Bishopston for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. 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 illness)
