I am downsizing from our house in Roade and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Roade conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Roade. Having lived in Roade for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 sickness)

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Am I better off to appoint a Roade conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? An old friend can perform the conveyancing however they are based approximately 350miles drive away.

The benefit of a high street Roade conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and they were happy that should surpass using an unfamiliar Roade conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
