Willinstructing a West Beckton conveyancing lawyer make the ownership transfer smoother?

I am thinking of refinancing my home in West Beckton, does my lawyer need to be on the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in West Beckton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street West Beckton lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in West Beckton. Having lived in West Beckton for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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 sickness)
three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in West Beckton took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in West Beckton ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on such a home.

Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on a property in West Beckton I would like to talk to a solicitor about mytransaction ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer who will be conducting your conveyancing in West Beckton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a case number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in West Beckton should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
