This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Thirsk. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Thirsk?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Thirsk. I have a mortgage agreed with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I am downsizing from our house in Thirsk and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Thirsk conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Thirsk. We have lived in Thirsk for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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)
