I was advised today by my estate agent that my Limehouse lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I be sure that this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to call your Limehouse conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
We are downsizing from our property in Limehouse and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Limehouse conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Limehouse. Having lived in Limehouse for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I own a terraced Victorian house in Limehouse. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Limehouse and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

I am 17 days into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Limehouse. We are not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
They would have to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has the loan offer been generated? If so you must make them aware of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are re-sent. The solicitor ideally should be on the banks panel to avoid supplemental charges and frustration. That should be your first question of the new solicitors. The search tool can assist you in finding a bank approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Limehouse
Been reading online that Limehouse solicitors are more costly than Limehouse conveyancers in Limehouse to use when purchasing a property. Am I better off using a conveyancer or a solicitor where I am purchasing for my home move in Limehouse.
When it comes to conveyancing in Limehouse the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
