Having sold my house in Selsey last January but our buyer keeps Skype messaging every few hours complaining that his conveyancer needs to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
After completion of your house sale your lawyer is duty bound to forward the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your conveyancer must also confirm that the home loan has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion steps just for conveyancing in Selsey.
My lender has recommended solicitors on their panel based in Selsey but I would rather choose a conveyancing lawyer in Selsey local to me. Can you assist?

I am planning on selling our house in Selsey and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Selsey. We have lived in Selsey for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to 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)
Is it possible to change firm as I need to retain a firm on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel. I was using a high street conveyancing solicitor in Selsey five minutes from me but the firm is not approved by Yorkshire Building Society

Should I use a Selsey conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? An old friend can deal with the legal work but her office is approximately 350kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Selsey conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were happy that must trump using an unknown Selsey conveyancing lawyer just because they are Selsey based.
A licensed conveyancer dealt with my conveyancing in Selsey half a dozen years ago and was holding my registration documents but has since been shut down – What steps do I now take to retreive these?
