I am in the throes of transferring my current homeowner mortgage to a Buy to Let Halifax mortgage. The bank has said that I require a conveyancer as part of the process. I spoke to my former Gwynedd conveyancing practitioner who who conducted the conveyancing when I first acquired the house. The costs illustration supplied of £450 plus VAT is surprising as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Gwynedd and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Gwynedd lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Gwynedd. We have lived in Gwynedd for 5 years we know of no 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 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
