I was notified today by my broker that my Wolston the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I be sure that this is correct?
Your first step should be to call your Wolston lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Wolston conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
We are selling our house in Wolston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Wolston conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Wolston. Having lived in Wolston for many years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm 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)

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Wolston with the aim of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Wolston can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share certificate. Obtaining a new share certificate is often a lengthy formality and delays many a Wolston conveyancing transaction. If a new share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unresolved. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to unresolved. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should verify this by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is under 75 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.
