I am downsizing from our house in Daventry and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Daventry. We have lived in Daventry for many years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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 illness)

Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Daventry conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Daventry conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you make enquires with several firms including non Daventry conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be useful:
-
How experienced is the firm with lease extension legislation? What volume of lease extensions have they completed in Daventry in the last year?
I acquired a 1st floor flat in Daventry, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2012. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Daventry with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2093
You have 68 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
My son is about to join the property ladder, he had his mortgage in principle. When the offer was accepted on apartment we telephoned the mortgage institution to issue the formal offer. We were shocked to hear that banks do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they need to be on their approved list, is this legal?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Daventry property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Presumably not.
