In the event thatI were to acquire a freehold homein Redcar for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Redcar?

Any savings you would make will be isolated to the Redcar conveyancing searches. The conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your vendors property lawyer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Redcar and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Redcar lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Redcar.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)

Make use of our search tool on this page to ensure that the conveyancers are on the appropriate lender panels. Assuming that they are the solicitor will be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should talk with you conveyancer and specify your desired outcome and needs.
