I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Wootton Bassett. I have a mortgage agreed with Nottingham. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
My wife and I are selling our property in Wootton Bassett and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Wootton Bassett lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wootton Bassett. We have lived in Wootton Bassett for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Wootton Bassett for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

I have been recommended by a number of estate agents in Wootton Bassett to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over another?
We don’t make any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
We are 3 weeks into a residential purchase having been directed to a firm by the selling agent to execute conveyancing in Wootton Bassett. We are not happy. Can you help me find new lawyers?
A lawyer would need to be very bad in order to consider replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been generated? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the replacement conveyancer and have the offer are re-sent. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental fees and delays. That should be your starting point.
