You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Lynton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Lynton. Having lived in Lynton for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Lynton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
