My fiancee and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Mitcheldean and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this stage? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Kent Reliance.

It would be advisable to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Kent Reliance, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

We are selling our house in Mitcheldean and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Mitcheldean. We have lived in Mitcheldean for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything.

I am buying my first flat in Mitcheldean with a loan from Clydesdale. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not to tell my solicitor about this deal as it will affect my mortgage with Clydesdale. Is this normal?.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Mitcheldean
