My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Wrington and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem.

Having lived in Wrington for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to 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 illness)
Am I right to be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Wrington conveyancing practice?
As with lots of service providers, often input from relatives can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend conveyancers to appoint. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that many lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.

The benefit of a local Wrington conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate.

If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were impressed that must surpass using an unfamiliar Wrington conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Wrington. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Wrington who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Wrington conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I am contemplating appointing an online solicitor rather than a Wrington conveyancing firm. Should I ‘stay local’?
There are advantages of having the opportunity to pop in to a local Wrington conveyancing solicitor such as
- signing documents on short notice
- having face-to-face explanations of matters that need explaining
- the ability to raise concerns if things need to addressed
When comparing estimates, look out for hidden extras. Most decent Wrington high street solicitors give an all-inclusive figure. Many online companies appear to offer discounted prices, but have hidden 'extras' in the fine print.
