My house in Seaforth is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my lawyer have to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

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 requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
I am selling our house in Seaforth and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Seaforth conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Seaforth. Having lived in Seaforth for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must 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 have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Seaforth I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Seaforth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
I have been advised by many friends that it should take six to eight weeks for Seaforth conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The draft contract was only sent from the vendors conveyancing practitioner yesterday so now does it countdown?
Do not count on moving on a certain date until exchange of contracts takes place. Regardless of the promises the people you are acquiring from or selling to make, or your lender gives don't rely on them. More stress is caused to buyers and sellers by unfulfilled promises than any other factor when it comes to conveyancing in Seaforth.
