Established third party relationships is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing lawyers.

We are planning on selling our house in Bury St Edmunds and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Bury St Edmunds lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bury St Edmunds. Having lived in Bury St Edmunds for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Bury St Edmunds differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bury St Edmunds approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Bury St Edmunds tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bury St Edmunds or who has acted in the same development.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bury St Edmunds. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Bury St Edmunds to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
