I am planning to acquire a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Timperley who is on the Nationwide Building Society solicitor. Can you recommend a local firm?

Can you help - my lawyer says that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Timperley?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
We had appointed conveyancing lawyers located in Timperley on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further amount for dealing with the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Timperley lawyer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Timperley. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
We are planning on selling our property in Timperley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Timperley lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Timperley. We have lived in Timperley for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Timperley?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Timperley. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
