Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Newall Green?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Newall Green your solicitor will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is as part of the sale price then this should be required shortly in advance of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed will be payable shortly before completion.
What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the Skipton Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Newall Green?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Newall Green and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Newall Green lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Newall Green. We have lived in Newall Green for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I'm buying my first flat in Newall Green with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it could affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
