Can you recommend a Birmingham Midshires approved Fulwood conveyancing conveyancer finish our house move within less than a month? Am I best advised to unstruct a high street Fulwood practice or an online conveyancer?

I am selling our property in Fulwood and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Fulwood. We have lived in Fulwood for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer 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 illness)
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Fulwood I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fulwood suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
Is it possible to transfer to a new solicitor as I need to instruct one who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I hired a local conveyancing solicitor in Fulwood round the corner but the firm is not accepted by Virgin Money

Should I instruct a Fulwood conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can conduct the legal work but his firm is located a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The benefit of a high street Fulwood conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job.

My partner is purchasing a shared ownership flat in Fulwood. He has received a fee estimate by the conveyancer connected to the estate agents totaling £1156 . It was seven years ago since I sold and purchased a property and it cost was £440. Have charges really escalated to that extent?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Fulwood searches, land registry fees, etc)
