We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Oval listed by you but have come across alternative costs illustrations on the internet appear cheaper – why is this?
You can find plenty of conveyancing organisations promoting supposedly cheap conveyancing, unfortunately it’s common in such cases for supplementalfees result in the completion invoice being inflated.

The Oval conveyancing firm handling our Oval conveyancing has identified a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I am planning on selling our house in Oval and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Oval. Having lived in Oval for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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)
Am I better off to appoint a Oval conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can conduct the legal work however they are based 200miles away.
The benefit of a local Oval conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Oval know how is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and the majority were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Oval conveyancing lawyer just because they are Oval based.
