I am buying a new build flat in Liss. Can I do my own conveyancing?

I am selling our home in Liss and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Liss. Having lived in Liss for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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)

My step-father has recommend that I use his conveyancers in Liss. Should I choose my own conveyancer?

Myself and my wife have just had an offer agreed on a apartment and had an appointment on Monday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to choosing a solicitor that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an additional charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to select a property lawyer to act for them in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have asked HSBC to furnish me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
Ask HSBC what their criteria for panel membership is for a solicitor.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC before. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Another option is to utilise our search facility and we should be able to locate a conveyancing practitioner in Liss on the panel for HSBC.
