My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Bursledon. I need to find out if they are on the Chelsea Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should phone your lawyer and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please call Chelsea Building Society who may be able to confirm.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Bursledon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bursledon. We have lived in Bursledon for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

We are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the local agent to handle our conveyancing in Bursledon. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
A conveyancer would need to be really bad to suggest changing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? If so you must advise them of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. The solicitor ideally should be on the banks panel to avoid added fees and delays. That should be your starting point. Our find a solicitor tool can assist you in finding a bank approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Bursledon
Am in the process of purchasing my 1st property in Bursledon. Conveyancing solicitor already appointed. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not appropriate as the property was only constructed twenty two years ago.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence was built over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. The report should highlight any apparent issues and recommend additional investigation where relevant. Where there are any signs of problems obtain a full structural survey.
