I am about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Langstone but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract however are not allowing this. Why were they informed?

We are selling our home in Langstone. Does the have to be on the conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of 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 requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Langstone and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Langstone lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Langstone. We have lived in Langstone for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 sickness)
