I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years built) in Peterborough. 95% of the appartments have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Peterborough?
A big part of the Peterborough legal transfer of property is the conveyancing searches. There are hundreds search providers conducting Peterborough conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are usually referred to as personal search companies and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must obtain their information from the local authority.
Is there a search tool that I can use to discover of the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Peterborough is on the lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for TSB thus paying £192.00 in supplemental legal bill.

I am planning on selling our home in Peterborough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Peterborough lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Peterborough. Having lived in Peterborough for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should 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 sickness)
