My friend's step-father is a solicitor. I expect that I can be offered mate’s rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Conisbrough?

My partner and I are intent on selling our property in Conisbrough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Conisbrough. We have lived in Conisbrough for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to meet my requirements, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing.

Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?
Most houses in Conisbrough are freehold rather than leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process.

First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease will likely included provisions such as requiring the freeholder’spermission to conduct alterations. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the property is located on an estate. Your conveyancer should advise you fully on all the issues.

You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
My financial adviser has recommended their conveyancing practitioner for my conveyancing in Conisbrough - Surely it’s advisable to just use them?
This is not necessarily the case and you are free to opt for whichever property lawyer of your choosing for your Conisbrough conveyancing. A conveyancing practitioner recommended by a 3rd party adviser may not necessarily be the best solicitor, they may suggest their preferred conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
