When researching online forums for an affordable solicitor in Southwark, many advise that I should use a CQS accredited lawyer. What is CQS?

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in buying or selling property, trusted by some of the UK's biggest banks. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). The scheme does not cover licenced conveyancers. Southwark is one of the many areas of the UK where there are CQS solicitors.

I am selling our house in Southwark and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Southwark. Having lived in Southwark for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I am a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been recommend to conveyancers by the estate agent to execute conveyancing in Southwark. We are not happy. Could you help me find new solicitors?

A solicitor would need to be very bad to suggest changing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? If so you need to make them aware of the replacement solicitor and ensure the offer are re-issued. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and frustration. So that should be your starting point. Our find a solicitor tool can assist you in finding a lender approved conveyancer for your home move in Southwark

New build sellers have recommended to me a solicitor and I've received a quote from them. They are almost £300 cheaper than my own Southwark solicitor. Should I use them?

Developers normally have lists of solicitors who are quick and who know the developer’s documentation and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder will not put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should stick with your local Southwark conveyancer.
