Some embed extras deep into the terms and conditions. The law firms that we list for conveyancing in Holsworthy neverbehave this way.
We're in Holsworthy, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Co-operative , and our lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
My wife and I are purchasing a flat in Holsworthy. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we will need to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

My partner and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we wish to conduct alterations to our home in Holsworthy. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Holsworthy solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Virgin Money don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money list.

I am downsizing from our property in Holsworthy and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Holsworthy. We have lived in Holsworthy for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I opted to have a survey done on a house in Holsworthy ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to give a mortgage on this type of home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Holsworthy. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Holsworthy to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
