I am intent on selling our house in Horwich and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Horwich lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Horwich. We have lived in Horwich for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should 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 illness)

How does conveyancing in Horwich differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Horwich approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Horwich tend to acquire the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Horwich or who has acted in the same development.

A couple of months ago I was told by my mortgage company that their approved lawyers operate no completion no fee basis for conveyancing in Horwich. I had a purchase fall through yet the solicitors want search fees! They say the fees are nothing to do with their fees!

in promising "no sale no fee" Horwich conveyancing firms are waiving their fees for any work conducted. We must stress this is NOT an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the conveyancing practitioner have to pay money out to third parties, e.g. Horwich local search fees
