My home in Cinderford is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does the have to be on the conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently currently.

My partner and I are selling our home in Cinderford and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Cinderford lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cinderford. We have lived in Cinderford for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer 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)

How does conveyancing in Cinderford differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cinderford come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Cinderford tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cinderford or who has acted in the same development.
