Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Gloucestershire who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Barclays Direct.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Gloucestershire and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Gloucestershire lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Gloucestershire. Having lived in Gloucestershire for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Gloucestershire. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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.

There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Gloucestershire is one of the hundreds of locations in which our lawyers have offices

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Gloucestershire. I have land on a site which seems to have the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all formalities done via web that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
