We are purchasing a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Marlborough who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

I am buying a 3 bedroom semi in Marlborough. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property involve investigations to ascertain if these alterations were previously refused?
Your conveyancer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Marlborough can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of another owner. Certain works need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Marlborough bank branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Marlborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancing practitioner has to follow the CML Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Marlborough solicitor - who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Marlborough surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
My wife and I are planning on selling our home in Marlborough and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Marlborough. We have lived in Marlborough for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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 illness)

Me and my fiance are soon to exchange buying a house in Marlborough but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated reparation from the vendor of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet my bank will not permit this. Why were they informed?
Your conveyancing practitioner listed on the bank conveyancing panel is required to inform the mortgage company of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the price change to your mortgage company then they would have no choice but to discontinue representing you and the lender.
