I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Halifax. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Wynyard. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
IfI was to acquire a freehold homein Wynyard for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Wynyard?
Any savings you would make would be limited to the Wynyard conveyancing searches. Your property lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your vendors conveyancer, SDLT return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage however it won't be a lot.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Wynyard and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wynyard. Having lived in Wynyard for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to 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 illness)

We have been told by many family members to expect 6-8 weeks for Wynyard conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The draft contract was only forwarded to my solicitor last week so does the time start running now?
Six to 8 weeks is a very loose timescale. Providing assurances as to accurately how long Wynyard conveyancing will take is virtually impossible. Every Wynyard conveyancing transaction has it’s specific set of concerns. Accordingly your conveyancing practitioner should be unwilling to guarantee an exact timeframe to conclude conveyancing in Wynyard.
