I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Goodrich. 95% of the flats are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Goodrich?
Conveyancing Searches are a central link in the Goodrich conveyancing process. There are numerous companies conducting Goodrich conveyancing searches, as well direct from the local authority. These are known collectively as personal search organisation and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. Nevertheless, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their information from the local authority.
We're in Goodrich, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is HSBC , and our lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We are planning on selling our property in Goodrich and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Goodrich lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Goodrich. We have lived in Goodrich for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)

If you haven't yet appointed a solicitor to start work and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Goodrich that you're thinking of instructing.
