It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in South Cave. We have lived in South Cave for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

This will kickstart: 1) the selling agent to issue a Sales Memo to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s conveyancing practitioner to send out the draft paperwork.
