I am purchasing a terraced house in Hythe. Can I do my own conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Hythe you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests.

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

We are selling our property in Hythe and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hythe. We have lived in Hythe for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)

Our mortgage broker has recommended their conveyancing practitioner for the conveyancing in Hythe - Surely it’s easier to just instruct them?
This is not necessarily the case and you are free to opt for whichever property lawyer of your choosing for your Hythe home move. The conveyancer put forward by an estate agent may not necessarily be the best solicitor, they may put forward their preferred conveyancing firm who are based remotely. 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 progress reports.
