My partner’s sister is a solicitor. I am hopeful that I can be offered preferential pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Bamburgh?

My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Bamburgh and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bamburgh. We have lived in Bamburgh for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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 illness)
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Bamburgh is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bamburgh are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bamburgh you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bamburgh may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 premises.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we use their preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Bamburgh
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Bamburgh conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
