My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Whitwick. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should phone your solicitor and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should call Godiva Mortgages Ltd who may be able to assist.
We are selling our house in Whitwick and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Whitwick. We have lived in Whitwick for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor 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 ailment)
I used Stirling Law a few years past for my conveyancing in Whitwick. I now require my papers but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Whitwick is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Whitwick are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Whitwick you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Whitwick may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
