Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Marlborough. I would like to know the logic why all Marlborough conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all lender panels?
As inequitable as it may seem for banks to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s perspective, the the contrary view is that lending institutions are increasingly anxious and consider it crucial to defend themselves from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern banks have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Marlborough. The vast majority the properties are already sold. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Marlborough?
Where you are obtaining a loan, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Marlborough conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Marlborough.

I am planning on selling our house in Marlborough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Marlborough conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Marlborough. Having lived in Marlborough for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. 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)
