Newcastle upon Tyne Searches for Contaminated Land

Contaminated Land has a specific legal definition (set out in Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990). Newcastle upon Tyne conveyancing solicitors now routinely carry out searches to find out whether properties are at risk. Contamination can be serious even where industrial use ceased decades ago. In one recent case involving 1960s homes built on the site of a First World War ammunition factory, owners were told not to eat any vegetables grown in their gardens until the topsoil had been removed and replaced. In the event that nearby contaminated land is suspected, insurance premiums are generally reasonable.

What are the consequences if your solicitor is not on your Lender's panel?

Mortgage lenders maintain panels of solicitors who they will instruct to carry out legal work on mortgages. At one time, many lenders, especially the large banks, were prepared to instruct any firm of solicitors who asked to be placed on their panel. More recently, lenders have begun to remove firms which have either not completed many conveyancing transactions or have failed to meet other criteria. If your conveyancing solicitor is not on your preferred lender's panel, then the lender will not instruct that firm to act in connection with the mortgage.

You then have a choice; you could either obtain a mortgage from another lender, or instruct another firm of conveyancer who are on the panel. Generally, it is cheaper to have the same firm act both for you and your lender, but you could also choose to persist with both your first choice of lender and solicitor, and pay for a lawyer selected by the lender to carry out the relevant legal work. If you do not switch firms, your lenders will instruct a solicitor themselves. You are expected to pay these costs in addition to your own, and as this firm may have a heavy caseload with many other matters underway, you will not have the same ability to stay abreast of developments and apply more pressure if delays occur.
