I sincerely hope you can assist me. My Llanmartin solicitor is informing me me that he is legally obliged toapply for Llanmartin conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Do I not have any options here?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a home loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Llanmartin conveyancing searches.

My partner and I are selling our home in Llanmartin and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Llanmartin. We have lived in Llanmartin 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 confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 sickness)

How does conveyancing in Llanmartin differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Llanmartin approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Llanmartin usually purchase the site, 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 conveyancers 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 Llanmartin or who has acted in the same development.
