I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Putney Vale the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?
Your first step should be to contact your Putney Vale lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
We are selling our house in Putney Vale. Does my conveyancer have to be required to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.
My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Putney Vale and the buyers lawyers are claiming 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 purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Putney Vale. We have lived in Putney Vale for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
I used Arc property Solicitors a few years past for my conveyancing in Putney Vale. Now, I need the documents but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Putney Vale ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Putney Vale.
