I plan on purchasing a flat in Wymondham. My property lawyer is not on the lender solicitor panel. Can I still retain my Wymondham conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender list of approved lawyers?
Various options include
- Complete the deal with your preferred Wymondham property lawyer but your bank will need to use a conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. This will result in additional fees together with potential frustration.
- Appoint a fresh property lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to seek to join the lender panel
I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Wymondham?
You should check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the lender to determine if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Wymondham.
My wife and I are selling our house in Wymondham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wymondham. We have lived in Wymondham for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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)
I am buying a new build flat in Wymondham. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Please supply a car parking plan. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Is it best to use a Wymondham conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can handle the legal work however her office is a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Wymondham conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and in the main were happy that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Wymondham conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
