AssumingI was to buy a simple residential homein Rayleigh for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Rayleigh?
Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the Rayleigh conveyancing searches. Your lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the vendors lawyer, SDLT submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it won't be significant.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Rayleigh and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Rayleigh. Having lived in Rayleigh for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 sickness)
I have justdiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Rayleigh for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Rayleigh conveyancing specialists.

Am I best advised to appoint a Rayleigh conveyancing solicitor based in the area that I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal work but her office is 200kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a high street Rayleigh conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Rayleigh know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and in the main were impressed that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Rayleigh conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
