Having spent time scouring mumsnet.com for a high-quality lawyer in Gants Hill, most comment that I should look for a CQS accredited solicitor. What is CQS?

Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * adherence to best practice conveyancing procedures via the scheme protocol It includes many partnerships who handle conveyancing in Gants Hill.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Gants Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Gants Hill lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Gants Hill. Having lived in Gants Hill for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. 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 illness)

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Gants Hill. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Gants Hill

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

Me and my partner are hoping to buy a three room first floor flatin Gants Hill with a loan from a bank. We have a lawyer in Gants Hill yet our lender says she’s not approved on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our lender panel firms or keep our Gants Hill conveyancer and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The lender mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Gants Hill : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
