It has come to my attention via my estate agent that my New Invention property lawyer is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to check?
You need to call your New Invention lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
My wife and I are downsizing from our property in New Invention and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in New Invention. Having lived in New Invention for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
Just bought a semi-detached house in New Invention , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My New Invention conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in New Invention registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any other parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

We are in the middle of buying a property in New Invention. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect our Natwest valuation?
New Invention conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a material impact on the value, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease to be supplied to your lawyer.
