My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Southwold and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Southwold conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Southwold. Having lived in Southwold for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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)
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Southwold , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Southwold conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Southwold registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Southwold
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your own,trusted Southwold conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
