Is the fact that my solicitor in Carshalton Beeches is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Carshalton Beeches conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years built) in Carshalton Beeches. Almost all the appartments are already occupied. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Carshalton Beeches?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a loan, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Carshalton Beeches conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to swap to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Carshalton Beeches.
We are downsizing from our home in Carshalton Beeches and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Carshalton Beeches lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Carshalton Beeches. We have lived in Carshalton Beeches for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

We are willing to do all the communicating over email, but I am thinking at some stage we will need to physically go into the solicitor's office to sign papers?
