Can you help - my lawyer says that lack of planning permission insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Grimsby conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
How can we tell if a Grimsby conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Grimsby getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Grimsby off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. 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 Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
We are planning on selling our house in Grimsby and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Grimsby lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Grimsby. We have lived in Grimsby for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
The deeds to our house are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Grimsby 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
You no longer need to hold title original deeds to evidence that you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

As co-executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a property in Swansea but I am based in Grimsby. My lawyer (based 200 miles from meneeds me to sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Grimsby to attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Grimsby based
