My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Leagrave and Chalton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Leagrave and Chalton lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Leagrave and Chalton. We have lived in Leagrave and Chalton for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to 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. What do they say? You need to 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 ailment)

How does conveyancing in Leagrave and Chalton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Leagrave and Chalton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Leagrave and Chalton typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Leagrave and Chalton or who has acted in the same development.
Our lawyer in Leagrave and Chalton has requested from me proof of ID documents asserting that this is part of his legal duty as a conveyancer on the lender Solicitor panel. Can you confirm whether this is the case?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the mortgage company. This is not specific to conveyancing in Leagrave and Chalton
