I am not well enough to travel far from Lymm and Warburton. Is there a reason why all Lymm and Warburton lawyers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
As inequitable as it may appear for mortgage companies to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s standpoint, the the contrary view is that lending institutions are increasingly anxious and regard it imperative to shield themselves against mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern lenders have consolidated their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
We note that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton?

My wife and I are selling our home in Lymm and Warburton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Lymm and Warburton conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Lymm and Warburton. We have lived in Lymm and Warburton for three years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
