As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important number one tip you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Lymington?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Lymington or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the home moving process. For example, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion a bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Lymington is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
When looking at online forums for a recommended solicitor in Lymington, many comment that I must use a CQS kitemarked lawyer. What is CQS?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in home ownership transfers, trusted by some of the UK's leading lenders. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). CQS is not a scheme offered by the Society for Licensed Conveyancers. Lymington is one of the numerous areas in England and Wales where there are Accredited lawyers.
We are downsizing from our house in Lymington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Lymington. Having lived in Lymington for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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 ailment)

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Lymington
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Lymington conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will earn the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
