We are downsizing from our house in Southwater and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Southwater. We have lived in Southwater for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? 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 illness)

I have a terraced Edwardian property in Southwater. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Bank of Ireland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Southwater and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Southwater. I have stumble upon a web site which seems to have the ideal offering If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via phone that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
