My partner and I are selling our property in Littleborough and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Littleborough. We have lived in Littleborough for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may 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 have recentlydiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Littleborough for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Littleborough conveyancing specialists.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Littleborough. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

What makes your site different to alternative web based conveyancing solicitors for conveyancing in Littleborough?
At this site receive a conveyancing quote from a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that has a full understanding of the nuances of your conveyancing in Littleborough. As opposed to estate agents and brokerage sites we do not charge firms a commission if you appoint them for your home move in Littleborough
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Littleborough
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Littleborough conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Littleborough based firm who is on the lender conveyancing panel. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?
If you haven't yet instructed a solicitor to do anything for you and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Littleborough that you're thinking of instructing.
