I am not in a position to travel far from Esher and Claygate. I would like to know the understand why all Esher and Claygate conveyancing practitioners are not on all mortgage company panels?
Banks tend to restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the firm is required to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some have made a decision to limit the number of firms they allow to act for them. You should note that building societies have no responsibility for the accuracy of conveyancing provided by any Esher and Claygate property lawyer on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was the key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels in the last decade even though there are contrary thoughts about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from HMLR indicates that thousands of law organisations only transact less than three conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel culls question why conveyancing firms deserve the right to be listed on a bank panel when clearly property law is not their primary expertise?

We are planning on selling our home in Esher and Claygate and according to the buyers it appears 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 web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Esher and Claygate. Having lived in Esher and Claygate for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
